Wings of the Forgotten
When twenty-three-year-old Rowan Hayes dies during humanity's first deep-space expedition, she expects oblivion.
Instead, she awakens in the body of an Aurorin-a rare winged feline species on a distant world of floating mountains and endless skies.
Terrified and unable to understand her new instincts, Rowan's struggle for survival ends when she crashes deep within the wilderness, shattering one of her wings. Alone and vulnerable, she is discovered by Kaelor Vethan, a Khevari ranger tasked with protecting the world's endangered wildlife.
The Aurorin have every reason to fear intelligent beings.
For centuries, the planet's former rulers hunted them to the edge of extinction, slaughtering their families for the precious mineral hidden within their nests. Even generations later, the species' collective memories remain filled with fear, grief, and loss.
Yet despite those instincts, Rowan cannot bring herself to fear Kaelor.
As he nurses her back to health, an impossible bond begins to form between them-one that neither Aurorin nor Khevari have ever experienced before.
While Rowan struggles to balance her fading humanity with the instincts of the creature she has become, she discovers secrets hidden within the Aurorin's ancient telepathic network, a mystery surrounding her transformation, and a growing threat that could destroy the fragile future of an entire species.
To the Khevari, she is an unusually intelligent Aurorin.
To the Aurorin, she is something impossible.
And if either side learns the truth, everything she has come to call family may be torn away.
