The Storm Stained is about a fairy society that lost their magical wings generations ago when the violent, magic-consuming storms started. Out of these trying times came a prophecy which foretold of a winged Vessel who would contain the storms and restore the wings of fairies everywhere. But... is the prophecy true? Or is it a "fairy tale" holding them back from forging their own destiny?
A malcontent gang of rejected Chosen Ones certainly seems to think so. And they're set on convincing, Callisto, the latest Wing Blessed protégé, that the prophecy isn't just a sham, it's a deadly trap and she needs to get out before it's too late. But who is telling her the truth? Callisto must decide for herself!
