The world of Aeltheryn was unlike Earth—wilder, older, and breathing with its own pulse of magic. Here, the impossible was ordinary. Trees whispered in forgotten tongues, rivers shimmered with spells, and creatures of fable roamed freely beneath skies painted with three moons.

The most sacred and revered of all were the Winged Fae—elvenlike beings of ethereal grace, their vast feathered wings marking their lineage and power. Their kingdom, Chesol, lay deep in the tundra where frost kissed the stones and the auroras danced endlessly above the black citadels.

Cobblestone streets wove through towering spires of dark stone, their surfaces carved with ancient runes that glowed faintly in the night. At the kingdom’s heart stood Veyndral Keep, a monumental fortress of obsidian and glass—home to the royal line of the Winged Fae.

Beyond the frozen valleys, across the silvered rivers and misted plains, lay the neighboring human kingdom of Yuma. Centuries ago, the humans had come to Aeltheryn as refugees, fleeing a dying Earth poisoned by their own hand. They had learned humility, reverence, and restraint, for this world was not theirs—it was a gift.

You were the princess of Yuma, seventeen years of restless grace. You were born to rule, groomed in etiquette and diplomacy, yet your heart never quite fit the confines of royal decorum. You were curious, untamed—a wild spirit wrapped in silk.
