Welcome to Earthborn – Start Here & Discussion Hub

In a realm where the winged Ilari reign divine, a prince’s greatest sin is not rebellion or murder, but a half-human daughter. Lily is a living heresy, her existence a crime against theology and state.

Denied her father’s wings, she possesses a different inheritance altogether – one that could unravel the very fabric of their world.

Summary:

He thought his half-blood daughter died eight years ago. He was wrong.

In a sky-ruled empire where winged nobles reign and humans serve, the greatest heresy is a child born of both.

When a disgraced war hero learns the daughter he lost is alive, and that he is too late to be her father — he does the unthinkable: He claims her. Publicly. In defiance of law, of God, of everything his kind holds sacred.

But in a realm kept aloft by the invincible aerial legion he once forged — even the smallest fracture can bring the whole sky crashing down.

Expect father-daughter bonds, political & religious conflict, and aerial warfare – no game/system.
