47 parts Complete MatureSeventeen-year-old Ash Thorne lives in a world where beauty has withered, cities lie in ruins, and the rot-both literal and emotional-devours from within. Haunted by death, burdened by hunger, and tainted by the shadows that stalk his every step, Ash fights to survive in a crumbling world where cannibalism is whispered behind closed doors and love is a forgotten myth.
With his younger brother Richard clinging to hope and his older sister Lilith drifting toward something darker, Ash walks the line between protector and monster. But everything shifts when he meets Storm Royal, a quiet boy with ink-black eyes and a past he won't speak of. Their bond grows in graveyards and abandoned places, carved from whispers and quiet touches, until love blooms in a place it was never meant to survive.
As secrets unravel and the rot spreads, Ash must decide what he's willing to sacrifice-his soul, his sanity, or the boy who became his home.
A story of blood and blossoms, grief and graveyards, tenderness in ruin.
Love doesn't always save the world.
But in the darkest corners, it just might save two boys.
