Love can be locked away. Wings cannot.
A mother hidden.
A child with wings.
A house built on secrets.
Locked in the attic of a grand Victorian estate, Emily and her young daughter, Amelia, live as prisoners—kept there by Emily’s wealthy sister to protect the family’s reputation. The walls around them are thick with family secrets, the kind that twist a home into something dark and atmospheric.
Amelia has never seen the outside world. Yet she possesses an extraordinary, almost supernatural gift: she can slip free of her body and soar across the skies, unseen and untethered. Her strange, magical‑realist ability is the one freedom Emily cannot give her… and the one thing that may save them both.
As the years pass in confinement, Emily clings to the forbidden love that once transformed her life—memories her sister demanded she erase. But when that past resurfaces and her sister’s control turns dangerous, Emily must risk everything to protect her daughter. Love becomes rebellion. Survival becomes a battle. And the truth becomes their only way out.
A haunting Gothic tale of captivity, forbidden love, and the unbreakable bond between mother and child—perfect for readers who crave emotional, character‑driven fiction with a paranormal twist.
Perfect for readers who love:
Dark, atmospheric historical fiction
Gothic romance
Supernatural and magical‑realist elements
Fierce, emotional mother–child stories
