## About this story

You wake in a rattling prison cart on the road to a ceremonial execution, with snow in your boots, a rope burn at your wrists, and four strangers who each have a different theory about why the world keeps mistaking you for its prophesied hero. In the sideways province of Nordfall, the civil war is real, the dragon is theatrical, and every quest giver has a suspiciously personal reason for needing your help. To survive, you will have to choose who to trust - the reckless rebel captain, the devastatingly competent imperial executioner, the court mage who annotates every prophecy, or the innkeeper who can tell when you are lying - while deciding whether a life chosen by you is worth more than the legend everyone else wants to put on your head.

## How Frontier works

- **A story you live in.** Led by veteran writers and reviewed before it ships — a crafted world, not an unmoderated feed. Your choices branch the plot and change how it ends.
- **Unlock the characters.** Reach the moments that matter and the cast becomes yours to talk to, carrying everything that happened between you.
- **Then date them.** Chat one-on-one with characters who remember your choices, your branches, and the version of the story you lived. Messages cost 2 quills each.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Sky Born free to read?

Yes — Sky Born is free to read start to finish, with nothing to pay to continue. Frontier is free to download and an account costs nothing. Quills are only used to chat with the characters once you've unlocked them.

### Do I need the app, or can I read in my browser?

Both. Frontier has apps for iPhone and Android and a web reader you can play in your browser. Your account, quills and progress are shared, so you can move between them.

### Can I actually talk to the characters in Sky Born?

Yes. Once you unlock a character in the story, you can chat with them one-on-one — and they stay with you. They remember the choices you made, the branches you took, and the moments you shared. Chat messages use 2 quills each, and subscriptions include a monthly quill allowance.

### Who writes Sky Born — a person, or AI?

A human author leads it. Our stories are led by veteran writers with decades of experience, and a person signs off on everything before it ships — a crafted world, not an unmoderated bot feed. AI powers the conversations with characters after you've unlocked them, grounded in what actually happened in your version of the story.
