✦ COMPLETE ✦ - Book One (no cliffhanger) His greatest sin wasn't treason. It was having a half-human daughter. Prince Eirran is a winged Ilari, a former warrior and Seraph. His only crime was loving a human woman - a crime that cost her her life and left him with a living, breathing secret: their daughter. Lily is half-human, half-Ilari, and utterly wingless. A "mudborn princess" - not a title, but a slur. Her very existence is a blasphemy that could shatter the empire. To protect her, Eirran must hide her in plain sight, battling the vipers of his court who would see her erased. But as Lily grows, a dormant inheritance awakens within her - that could unravel the world itself. Earthborn blends political intrigue with mythic atmosphere and deeply intimate character work. For fans of the fierce parent-child bond of The Last of Us and the Witcher. This is a story where love is not a romance, but a rebellion. This story features: ✦ A heart-wrenching, central father-daughter bond. ✦ A brave, perceptive girl who learns to stand in a world built to erase her. ✦ Winged races, aerial legions, and political scheming. ✦ Tear-jerking moments & heart-soaring hope.
