Curiosity is the first sin. Disobedience is the last.

Arawan is an Aura, a genetically engineered angel dwelling in a sky realm where emotions are sins, and obedience is the highest virtue. She has spent her entire existence perfecting the art of feeling nothing. But beneath her serene surface, a dangerous longing stirs. A forbidden world lies below the miasma, alive with colour, chaos, and everything she has been denied.

When her emotions finally break free, the punishment is swift and merciless. To save her wings and the only freedom she has ever known, Arawan must venture into enemy territory. What she finds there is nothing like what the gods warned her about. Stripped of the nectar that kept her emotions dulled, she discovers what it means to truly feel — to taste, to touch, to rage, to grieve, and terrifyingly, to love.

But the gods don't release their creations easily. And as Arawan uncovers the dark cost of the sky realm's so-called divine protection, she must face the most dangerous question of all. What if she was always meant to be more than what they made her?

In a world where the gods demand perfection, one angel's fall might be the only way to rise.
