Aurora has always been different. She was marked from birth as an Elite and born with an additional skill that allows her, a phoenix, to take human form as naturally as breathing. Now, after five years of living with a cult that worships her kind, learning the local tongue and culture, it's time to spread her wings and venture out where few of her kind have been before. Filled with tales of the city, the lands beyond, and other fantastical creatures, she yearns to see it all and start a life unlike any other phoenix. But Aurora must remain cautious, for phoenix feathers are powerful, rare ingredients, even from one as young as her. The young phoenix must blend in, lest she end up in a cage. Elite Born is a slow-burn, slice of life story with elements of LitRPG and F/F romance included.
