Wings Beneath my Skin

Danielle Suthe 5 stories

Summary

Elira never believed she was special. At eighteen, all she wanted was to pass her final year in the farming village of Dareth and stay out of trouble. But during the Soulbound Ceremony—a test meant to awaken dragonblood in the elite—Elira sprouts wings. Not elegant. Not golden. Scaled. Sharp. Black as night. Dragon wings. Now, she’s a target. The Dragon Court calls her a threat. The king’s soldiers want her locked away—or worse. And everyone she’s ever known looks at her like she’s a monster. Her only hope of surviving lies with Kael, a guarded, battle-worn twenty-year-old with silver eyes and a past carved in fire. He once had wings, too. Until they were ripped from him. He’s the only one who understands what it means to burn from the inside out. But Kael doesn’t trust easily. And Elira doesn’t know who she’s becoming. The deeper they fall into each other, the more dangerous the truth becomes—about the dragon souls, about Aerith’s dying magic, and about the bond that ties Elira and Kael together. Because she wasn’t just chosen. She was created. And something ancient is waking beneath her skin.
