Earthborn - Book One
In a realm where the winged Ilari reign divine, the greatest sin is not rebellion or murder. For a prince and former Seraph, it is fathering a half-human daughter. Lily is a living heresy - her existence a crime against theology and state. Denied her father's wings, she possesses a different inheritance altogether: one that could unravel the very fabric of their world.
Earthborn is a character-driven fantasy of fragile love and impossible choices, where to exist is the ultimate crime. It's a complete novel that can be read as a standalone but sets stage for a greater saga.
Expect: father–daughter bond as a central narrative engine; found family; slow burn and quiet tension; political and religious conflict; aerial legion and military stakes; caste/class pressure; grief, trauma, and hard choices; complex characters; no game/system mechanics

A Note on Process & Transparency
Earthborn was originally written in Croatian. To preserve its lyrical intent in English, it has undergone a careful process of translation and polishing.
In this effort, I utilized a variety of digital tools, including AI-assisted translation and editing software. My goal is to leverage every available tool to ensure the highest quality reading experience. The core of the work: the story, characters, world, and authorial voice, is mine.
My goal was also to preserve the intimate cadence of its original voice.
