He's running from the crushing weight of responsibilities. She's running from the crushing weight of responsibilities. They run into each other. David's family threw him out. He's a free courier now, a select group of people who risk their lives for a fair bit of coin. It's a dangerous job, and he's one of the best, but his best is failing him. He has to find a rare anti-venom or his nephew is going to die, and time is running out. Niala ran away from her family. On the road and estranged, she's looking for a place to belong. Far away, alone, and penny-less, She has the skills to succeed, but not the luck. Life feels about as rough as it can get. Their paths intersect in a small town at the edge of the world, and they'll quickly find out that when two desperate people join forces, big problems don't seem so scary anymore. The world isn't always perfect, but they'll make it work, together. What to expect: An adventure-fantasy-romance-slice of life story, in an old world with modern sensibilities, steeped in traditions of the past, where magic and technology mean the same thing. -A slice of life that covers varied situations, from everyday struggles to dangerous or mysterious ones. -Characters that discover themselves and each other. People hold secrets, even from themselves. -Big and small plots and stories that won't reveal themselves right away. Seeds are being sown all the time. -Magic fuels technological advancement. -A mix of medieval and modern societies. -A happy romance between two people who have a lot more in common than they realize. -MCs that hold powerful abilities but kept them hidden to avoid dangerous consequences. The need for secrecy often falls apart when what you love is threatened, however.
