Description

Conn and Aria grew up together, bound by a closeness that went beyond friendship. No one knew what to call it—not even they did—but since childhood they had sought each other out, as if the world only made sense when they were side by side. Until the war tore them away from that light. Six years apart, six years trying to fill a void that never eased.

When they finally meet again, it isn't in the long-awaited embrace, but at the edge of the Road of Death, a place where even feelings seem to tremble. There, they discover that time did not break what they felt; it only made it quieter, deeper, harder to admit while the shadows lurk.

Two dragons shaped like ducks travel with them, watching as though they understand what Conn and Aria dare not say. Amid creatures born of legends and the Fomorians slipping through the darkness, the two move forward carrying emotions that burn hotter than fear.

Each danger draws them closer. Each step reveals what had always been there. But when the way out finally appears, it does not come without a cost.

They manage to cross.
The dragons do not.

And what Conn and Aria felt in that final instant… is only revealed within the pages of the book.
