Autumn Leaves | Erwin Smith

"There are some parts about loving you that's difficult. But it makes everything else easy."

When the harrowing wave of loss devastates her hometown, a young Celestine Adler is left to become a homeless ghost. Upon witnessing the cruelty of death, her value for life gleams brighter than ever.

With a vow in her heart dedicated to the ones that have passed, she ventures to Calaneth to find her place in the world, a sense of belonging, to escape the dark of abandonment, to fulfill her dream in honor of her once home and everyone that used to be in it. She's convinced that she can save lives on her own, and that it's the place she'd been longing to find. But instead she finds home, in the admirable man that is the embodiment of all that could be her opposite soul; the young Section Commander, Erwin Smith, who shares none of her values or her principles- and even relentlessly challenges them.

Why him, of all people? And why her, too? A lifetime is just too short to get the answers why the universe just decided to put them together. If this was heaven's will, it's got quite the sense of humor.
