After tragedy strips her of everything she once knew, Madeline is forced onto the road with the Mighty Nein, carrying scars that refuse to heal quietly. Recovery is slow, painful, and never linear. Caleb Widogast understands fire better than most. He knows what it means to live with guilt, with blood on your hands, with memories that claw at you in the dark. As he watches Madeline grow stronger, more independent, more herself, he finds comfort in her survival and terror in the fear he once saw in her eyes. Fear of him. Bound by shared trauma and haunted pasts, they walk a fragile line between trust and destruction. Because when two broken souls stand too close to the flame, the question isn't whether they'll burn but whether they'll rise from the ashes together.

In fact, you were the one who helped pull all the strings to keep it going and make sure Blitz doesn't fuck it all up. In saying this, you accidentally got pulled into a sexual affair with Stolas and Blitz. The longer this goes on, the longer you fall for the two idiots. I mean, how could you not with how well they treasure your body? And to think this all started by someone setting your apartment on fire. And even more, stomach turning, you dated the guy who did it. What happens when Blitz has to spill about how you guys met? How did the attack change pretty much everything? This book, like my many others, will be 100% weird. Why? Because I've never written a gender-neutral character before and I've never written a poly relationship before. It slightly breaks my heart to split up Blitz and Stolas so I couldn't do an individual Stolas x reader or Blitz x reader. To repeat my other description, THERE IS NO SHAME IN POLY RELATIONSHIPS.
