    Summary

    Only fools travel in winter. Roads heave, cold kills, bandits lurk at empty inns. He knows, he knows - he’s heard it all before. If he doesn’t leave now, he never will. A month on foot feels easier to survive than one spent at home, sandy path covered in snow, the waves crashing onto the rocks more welcoming than his cold, empty bed.

    Devon wants to know why. Asks in every letter, concern dripping like unblotted ink.

    My wife left me,’ he writes, ‘I’m going to ask the Enchantress for a spell to help me forget.’
