Sira grew up believing the truth of the world is written in history books. She scours them in the quiet halls of the University of Salint, searching for an answer to one question that won’t let her rest: why was her father—a devoted, beloved history professor—murdered? With a mother who won’t speak his name and a brother buried in his own life, she has only one lead: her father’s final passion, a place called the Winged Realm.
Lothan grew up understanding that magic is not only real but evil. His brother was killed by one of those who seek to bring it back to the world of Morynha—and Lothan’s own lapse in judgment allowed that fateful event to happen. Blamed by his family and haunted by guilt, his only path to redemption is finishing what his brother started: sealing the magical realms forever.
But finding the Winged Realm only reveals truths neither of them are prepared for and puts them on a collision course with each other and the ghosts of their families’ pasts.
To find the answers they’ve each been searching for, Sira and Lothan will have to decide which secrets to share and which they should keep. Will they be able to separate history from myth and learn to trust each other—and their growing feelings—or fall victim to the same divisiveness that previously destroyed their families?
The Winged Realm is a gaslamp romantic fantasy about family, redemption, and the mysterious overlaps between history and myth.
