Summary
Mike has spent twenty years preparing for a future he never chose. As a promising young knight-in-training, he spends his days learning how to serve a kingdom he has never wanted to belong to.
One afternoon, he’s nearly killed in the forest. A stranger saves him, a Cleric who can’t speak, fragile-looking and frightened, with magic that Mike has been taught should no longer exist.
He goes back to the forest looking for the young man who saved his life, expecting answers and finding something far more complicated instead.
Somewhere along the way, Mike learns to listen to what isn’t said, earns a trust neither of them gives easily, and discovers a life beyond the one chosen for him. Mike never imagined that Will would show him a life worth choosing, and become someone he would risk everything to protect.
