In a town on the edge of magic and danger, a chance encounter brings two broken souls together.
Yuu, a kind-hearted apothecary, has spent years keeping people at arm's length, haunted by a tragic past that left him wary of getting too close. Everything changes when he becomes responsible for Alyra, a demi-human girl burdened by years of captivity and distrust. Together, they seek solace in each other's company-Yuu offering Alyra the warmth of kindness she thought she'd lost forever, and Alyra finding within herself the strength to protect the only person who has made her feel safe.
But peace is fleeting in a world where darkness lurks just beyond the town's fragile walls. As Yuu and Alyra navigate the complexities of trust and healing, Yuu begins to rely on others in ways he never thought possible, and the bonds they forge will be tested by threats they never imagined-both from within their own pasts and from the terrifying creatures that threaten the town's future.
Together, they must rise above their fears, discovering not only the courage to fight for their home but also the hope for something greater: the promise of belonging.
A story of healing, courage, and the transformative power of connection.
