Wings for Flesh

Amara never wanted a human life.

Humans were emotional, irrational, contradictory... and hopelessly attached to things that never lasted.

She couldn't understand them.

Why they loved knowing they would lose.

Why they built lives destined to end.

Why anyone would willingly choose mortality over eternity.

So when her father abandons Caelum to be reborn on Earth, Amara reluctantly follows, determined to find him and prove he made the greatest mistake of his existence.

She tells herself it's only temporary.

Find her father.

Experience humanity.

Go home.

Simple.

Instead, Earth becomes home.

Liverpool becomes familiar.

Friends become family.

And a life she never intended to keep slowly becomes impossible to leave behind.

As the years pass, she experiences everything she once believed made humans weak: friendship, heartbreak, betrayal, forgiveness, grief, joy, and a love powerful enough to change who she is forever.

Until one day she realises something far more terrifying than death.

She can barely remember Caelum.

Because the greatest danger of becoming human...

is forgetting you ever had wings.
