    Summary

    Enkrid has always fought his silent battles successfully. But when a deadly curse leaves him blind, deaf, and mute, his entire squad is thrown into chaos. With their captain suddenly cut off from the world, they’re left scrambling in desperation, racing against time to bring him back before the curse claims him for good.

    It’s a good thing their captain trusts them wholeheartedly.

    Summary

    Fear has stopped being a visitor in Encrid’s life ever since he started looping—predictable, distant, almost manageable. But that changes quickly when death becomes personal, inevitable, and mercilessly familiar. Each reset peels back another layer of certainty, until every heartbeat, every touch, every fleeting warmth becomes an avalanche of dread, desire, and unspoken truths.

    Or: Ferryman makes it so that another's death triggers the loop.

    Summary

    Alicia's hand pulls away from his chest as he sits up with fumbling apologies, and a shiver promptly follows, as if the trembles intended to fill that gaping space left behind. It's hard to get words out, with the chill rolling around in his ribcage like a snowball.

    "—Eye of Summer," is all he really registers of Alicia's voice.
