  Summary

  In Nicolò’s culture wings are sacred, and in adult age can only be touched by your spouse. Being a priest, Nicolò never received help in preening and was never expected to fly. Yusuf know they must take flight if they are to have any hope to meet the women they see in their dreams, but for that, he will have to convince his new friend-ex-enemy to let him touch his greatest vulnerability.
