Summary
After Will moves to Montauk, Sunday night calls become the only thing holding the distance between them. But the dream won’t leave Mike alone.
He returns to the same beach night after night, a place he’s visited too many times before. This time, instead of running, he crosses the water.
Will is waiting. Close enough to touch. Close enough to kiss. And when Mike wakes, the feeling doesn’t fade.
The next morning, alone in an empty house for three weeks, Mike tries to convince himself it was only a dream.
Then a pale yellow envelope arrives in the mail.

Just Will’s voice and the space between them.

And now here it is, written plainly in ink, resting between his fingers.
‘I can’t say things to them that I would easily say to you. No one knows me like you do, Mike,'

Summary
The quiet sorcerer Will lived an equally quiet life on the outskirts of the Byers region, spending most days foraging for berries, painting, avoiding his cruel father, and practicing magic with his twin sister, until he meets a compassionate trio of boys who flip his life upside-down. Soon enough, one secret visit into the illustrious Byers Kingdom gets Will roped into a life of royalty, which brings life-threatening danger and heartbreak along with it.
Desperate for an escape from having to witness his sister marry his ex-lover and best friend, Will gives up his position as prince to live a life alone in an apothecary in a faraway land, leaving everything and everyone from his past life in Byers behind.
That is until he receives a letter from Byers Kingdom that draws him right back to where it all began.
