    Summary

    When Sirius’s estranged brother Regulus dies, he leaves behind an unconventional will: a handwritten list of places to visit, people to see, and a single note saying “For when you’re ready to know me.

    The first line simply reads:

    Find Remus Lupin. Apologise.

    It’s been almost seven years since Sirius last saw Remus — his university flatmate, best friend, and the almost-love he ran from. Now, with regret tightening in his chest and nothing left to lose, Sirius reaches out. Remus agrees to go with him. Just for the first stop, he insists. But some roads don’t end where they think they will.

    As they follow Regulus’s trail across the UK through rainy motorways, strange inns, and memories they buried a long time ago, what began as obligation becomes something else entirely.

    The final stop is a lighthouse at the edge of the world. And neither of them is ready for what they’ll find there.
