Description:

Life is not built by grand moments alone, but in what survives over the test of time.

A Life Shaped by Embers is a series following Hans Capon and Henry of Skalitz as they learn to live with and without each other. Set roughly over a period of about 20 or so years, the series captures Henry and Hans in their quieter moments after war and through the expectations of society. Set in and around the forge at Kuttenberg, these stories trace a love shaped by endurance, unsent letters, tenderness, and pining.

Part I: What the Fire Cannot Take explores Henry and Hans relationship at the forge before, during and after Hans' wedding to Jitka. It is a story told in both prose and letters between the two some sent and others unsent.

Part II: Memories from the Forge
