Lia has always been the odd one out. She lives in an Imperial Palace, but wears the dull gray robes of a failed magic student. Surrounded by power — she just doesn't seem to have any of her own.
Until one day, she does. Spectacularly. Accidentally. And in front of entirely the wrong people.
"Never — NEVER — have I heard of a wingless woman possessing it."
Suddenly Lia is shipped off to a world in the clouds — a kingdom of the Celestials, winged beings who are elegant, ancient, and more than a little bit snooty about humans. To them, she is a puzzle. Enter Prince Kyrian — clever, cool, and convinced Lia is basically a science experiment. He's not exactly welcoming. But he is paying very close attention.
This book is a spellbinding, high-flying start to what promises to be an extraordinary epic romantasy series. If you love royal intrigue, hidden powers, and sharp, enemies-to-lovers tension set against a uniquely reimagined fantasy landscape, Wingless in the Sky is an absolute must-read. A triumphant Book 1 that leaves you desperate for the sequel!
Lana Delmoure has created an extraordinary fantasy world that feels both fresh and immersive. The sky cities, winged nobility, political intrigue, and magical mysteries all blend together beautifully. … This is one of the strongest fantasy debuts I’ve read in years, and I cannot wait for the next installment.
An excellent start to what feels like a very promising fantasy series. Lia is an easy character to root for, and the world above the clouds is beautifully imagined. The slow-burn romance and political intrigue kept me turning the pages. Can’t wait for the next book!
I absolutely loved the world building and the unique idea to create 3 different races, who live on increasingly higher planes and have varying magical abilities. The descriptive writing allows the reader to immerse themselves in this magical story. A great start to the series!
Wingless in the Sky is a beautifully written fantasy that explores themes of identity, resilience, and finding strength when you feel like you don’t belong. From the opening chapters, the story pulled me into a richly imagined world filled with mystery, emotional depth, and characters that were easy to root for.
The world-building was immersive, and the characters quickly grew on me. Prince Kyrian and Lia have great chemistry that develops naturally over time. There are plenty of secrets and twists to keep things interesting. A fun romantasy read!
An empress who rules with iron will. A corsair sailor who catches her eye. And a world where flying too close to the sun might be exactly what they both need.
A Soul and Wing short story, told from the Crown Prince’s point of view. No signup, no catch. Roughly half an hour’s reading.
Wingless in the Sky is an epic romantic fantasy set across one world and three realms: the sun-drenched imperial city of Maritana, ruled by Empress Maren De Valoren, and the breathtaking floating realm of the Celestials — a sky civilization of winged beings who command ancient heart magic from cities suspended above the clouds.
