The Forbidden Sky

April 1, Bidding Day Meet Sky. As he sits and waits for the results on his wedding day, he knows he was born an S, he will live as an S, and he will die an S.

After years of sending avian search parties, why don't others exist outside the community? Meet Merry. All she yearns for is her happily ever after with the man of her dreams, but will she be chosen by the right man? Meet Antin. Born an A, he is being groomed to lead this community. So why does he hunger to steal Sky's only true love? Meet Marabelle. Clumsy and maid-bound, only children flock to her myopic side. Will she remain friendless and alone?
