Four Hands Under a Burning Moon

Mothkin courier Eirra steals a murdered king’s ashes from a rigged funeral and rescues Tovan, the four-armed prince accused of killing him. Pursued across Veyra’s floating islands, they trade irreplaceable wing color for fragments of the king’s final song. When the complete memory reveals both their betrayals, Eirra and Tovan must burn the royal crest, surrender the throne, and build a sky where no House owns the names of the dead.

A nameless four-armed courier steals a murdered king’s ashes, only to find the accused prince’s crest burning through her wings after one storm.
