He wasn’t looking for a cause, just a way to make it through one more day in a town abandoned by time. The world around him is falling in slow motion—burnt fields, broken laws, and people trading souls for safety. He’s not a hero. He just keeps breathing.
Then, at a crooked auction block, two lives are forced into his hands. One guards a hidden past. The other dares to challenge everything, even him. What begins as reluctant responsibility turns into something far more dangerous: connection.
As old powers rot and new ones rise from the dirt, the lines between right and easy blur. With violence creeping in and silence no longer an option, he’s left with a choice he never wanted to face.
Not everyone survives the end of the world. Even fewer deserve to.
