    Summary

    “What about you, Annie? Why are you in training?”

    The familiar lie was resting on her tongue—a comfortable life behind Wall Sina—but just as she was about to utter it, she spotted a shooting star out of the corner of her eye and faltered. A life behind Wall Sina would be the furthest thing from comfortable, and to claim otherwise here, under the eye of the entire cosmos, was a crime Annie couldn’t bring herself to commit.

     

    From their carefree cadet days until after the world has ended, Armin and Annie have always gravitated towards each other. One moment of shared vulnerability opens up the opportunity for their connection to bloom.

    Summary

    Ten years after the Rumbling, the world still healing after the aftermath of this tragedy. Despite working hard with sweat and tears for peaceful days for the past eight years as Ambassadors of Peace, there’s still darkness that hides in the smallest corners of the world. And sometimes - within people as well.

    One day could change everything. For Armin and Annie, it changed their lives forever, shedding light on their deepest fears and insecurities. But together, they learn to heal not only their own wounds but also those shadows of the world they left behind.

    This is a story of love and respect that lay beyond the surface, the triumph of hope over pain, even when the faith was shuttered into pieces.

    Summary

    The Rumbling has destroyed half of the world, but, much to Annie’s dismay, not enough of her own past.

    Around 9 months after the Rumbling, Annie is set to work for the refugee program in Cotta, an undamaged Marleyan city which, despite the recent tragedy, still exhibits the triumph of its decadent society, with its fake politeness and sheer horror at the very thought of violence and unseemliness (at least, in public).

    Frustrated by the local politics and the endless bureaucracy, the combat skills she learned in childhood now completely useless, she feels agitated, inadequate, and unsatisfied, and would rather find a way to run away from it all; but as the summer reaches its peak, something from her past suddenly resurfaces, and there she is urged to confront everything about her life: her actions, her relationships, and most of all, the truth to the story of her monstrous nature.

    Summary

    A legend that was unveiled by a miracle.

    These miracles sometimes are better forgotten, left in the past where no one can go back.
    But Armin engraved his name into the folds of her mind, tear a piece of him and gave it to her, following her everywhere.
    Annie ran away, to the edge of earth, but when she closed her eyes, she saw his blue eyes.
    They danced around a legend that made them encounter each other over and over again, a time in crimson blood, a time in a cold night under the stars, and a time in an embrace.

    everything happens for a reason
