Flight of the Aura
Book 1 of the Sayyora Duology
by C K Galloway
Curiosity is the first sin.
Disobedience is the last.
Arawan is an Aura, a genetically engineered angel living in the sky realm, where feelings are sins and obedience is divine law. But Arawan’s serenity is a carefully crafted facade, and she dreams of the forbidden surface world below, with all its colour and chaos. When her emotions finally break free, she faces a brutal punishment that will strip her of the freedom she has sacrificed for. To save her wings, she must venture into enemy territory, where she discovers a world she was never meant to see. Without the nectar that suppresses her emotions, she learns what it means to feel, to taste, to touch, and even to love. When her enemy believes she's more than what the gods made her to be, her loyalty wavers. But the gods don't release their creations easily. And the deeper Arawan digs, the more she realises the sky realm's divine protection has a dark cost.
In a world where the gods demand perfection,
one angel's fall might be the only way to rise.
