   Summary

   If Gwayne could not pull Daeron onto a horse and ride away today, if he could not shield him from the war waiting outside these walls, he could at least refuse to let the boy watch him crawl.

   //

   Gwayne arrives in Tumbleton weak, broken, and desperate to return home. As he begins to see the extent of Ormund’s control over Daeron, he's forced to confront the scars leftover from his own youth and what it means to hold love over duty.
