Without Wings

by Lilly Lockwood

When a fallen angel is pulled from icy waters, they expect to be met with the wrath of hell. But instead, they are welcomed into a small island community that offers nothing but love and kindness to them.

They struggle with mortal life and their lingering faith for the saint that has forsaken them, but gradually they begin to accept the path they now walk thanks to the patience of their newfound friends.

About the author

Lilly Lockwood (they/them) is a fantasy novelist, veterinary student, and aspiring hobbit. Born in southern California, Lilly now lives in western Michigan with their partner and three cats (Publius, Livia, and Pete). The world of Val'hoon was born out of a Pathfinder 2e game that they run for friends and after years of playing in the world, Lilly decided that it was high time to tell the stories of the beings inhabiting Val'hoon. In the precious free time that they have outside of vet school where they aren't writing, Lilly can be found playing board games and video games, hiking, or playing any kind of tabletop roleplaying game they can get their hands on.
