Aeris was born a monster—a patchwork of serpent’s skin, black scales, and brittle feathers. His gold-coin eyes, slashed like knife wounds, cut a ragged rift straight through his soul. He longs to peel away his hideous flesh, to carve himself into something real. Something human. But human skin is not given. It is taken. At a price. Generations ago, the realms fell to the Burn—the only way to purge a land so twisted by man that its harvests nourished the body while poisoning the flesh. Now, as the wilderness creeps through the ashes, what remains for nature’s tinkerers? Pathway—the...
