    Summary

    Aloy is content with finding her own way through the world while the tribes are desperate for her aid in rebuilding what was lost to the Eclipse. Prospects emerge from every corner of the land, none that she finds herself ready to face, even a kind king's offer to secure their future in peace. Exhausted from the constant demands, Aloy daringly seeks the company of a man notorious for seeing people as mere disposable pleasures, Nil. Helplessly intertwined in his being, Aloy seeks to know what events tore him apart so that they might grasp a chance at helping recover what could have been, in her eyes, a better man. In her search for truth, she discovers a unique history hidden beneath the bloodshed - one of beauty, sadness, and acceptance.

    As word of their companionship spreads, Nil suddenly finds his second chance at life in jeopardy when someone threatens to bring his past deeds to the surface. He is then forced to choose between paths of either the lone warrior who fulfills his own desires or the soldier who knowingly sacrifices it all for the future of those who wished to forget his existence.

    Summary

    When Aloy shares in a heart-to-heart with Talanah about the events of the Burning Shores, she’s left with more questions than answers. Talanah, taking a break from all things relationships after finally ending things with Amadis for good, enlightens her to the idea that a person doesn’t have to be in love to make love. Who better to show Aloy the ropes than her closest and most trusted friend?

    And there’s someone else she left in the West: Someone else she thinks could provide her with a good distraction, and give her emotions the balance they need for her to keep her head as she prepares for Nemesis’s arrival.

    But things become complicated when real feelings for both of them get involved, and Aloy isn’t sure what to do when what was once fun and easy suddenly turns upside down and knocks her whole world off its axis.
