    Summary

    You were supposed to be a myth.

    The last of a lost race with wings that once bent magic to their will. Your kind vanished from the realms generations ago, but you were hidden away by monks, sheltered within the walls of an ancient monastery. You were taught to fly when no one was watching and warned never to be seen.

    But secrets don’t survive in realms ruled by monsters. Quan Chi discovered you. He tore you from your sanctuary, ripped the wings from your back, and left you in a cell with nothing but blood in your mouth and pain in your bones. The weight of everything you’ve lost pressed down harder than the stone floor beneath you.

    That’s where the Lin Kuei find you. Sent by Fire God to retrieve what’s left of you, Bi-Han, Kuai Liang, and Tomas expected a mission. It should have been simple — get in, get out, don’t get attached.

    None were ready for what caring would demand. But when faced with a storm, they don’t run, they stand and fight.
