The Flight & the Fall follows the story of Icarus Dawnguard in his days of early adulthood. Following his newly obtained status of Knight, he attempts to find his place in the world and break free from the bonds of his father's reputation. But the weight of such a title is heavy on the bearer, and Icarus may just be burned yet... His character is based loosely on the Greek mythology of Icarus, Apollo, and lessons of hubris. **Content Warnings: violence, swearing, blood, gore, domestic abuse** Milestones! Featured on Wattpad's Stories Undiscovered (12/22 - 01/23) #1 in #Homebrew 07/11/22 #1 in #Aasimar 07/11/22 I play Icarus in my D&D group's homebrew campaign, and originally started writing these snippets as I made up his backstory. That is until I ended up having way too much fun with this world and characters, and thought that it would all make for a great epic saga! The world of Nethedria is a creation of our DM, @coffeepaladin (on Twitter and Wattpad), with strong incorporation of classical D&D content. I hope that you enjoy!

||2022 WATTYS WINNER|| A scholar boy who denies the existence of elemental magic. A hidden princess who can control all seven elements. A mystical quill capable of rewriting both of their destinies. In the realm of Rainier where magic should no longer exist, eighteen-year-old Sebastian d'Aximos, a nobody scholar from an insignificant fishing village, finds himself accused by the Salvera Crown for using forgotten elemental magic to murder his own mother. There exists one problem with the Crown's theory, however; magic resides only in the Scribal legends about the Authors of Old, a rare race of humans who controlled the seven elements by weaving elemental threads into storybooks called Monvertas. But the Monvertas are myths; they have never been real. Yet, when Sebastian's soul cries out to the hidden heir of Rainier's Crown, Astrid Salvera, his beliefs in logic and facts are challenged. Because Astrid controls the seven elements, and she and her mother have worked to release magic back to their kingdom since it had been stolen by the enemy lands of Soleita two decades previously. Together, Sebastian and Astrid must work to find a mystical, hidden artifact: the Black Quill. A tool used by the original Author to unlock the Monverta and release its magical secrets. A tool that could redeem the realms of their world and reinstate magic. Ancient myths, prophecies of saviours and villains, and deadly trials by elements awaken to meet both Sebastian and Astrid as they work to unveil the secrets hidden from Rainier and learn the dark truths of each other. **Book 2 OUT NOW!**
