    About this ebook

    Half a lifetime after the Split, when a world of myth and legend took over the night, grieving aro-ace widower Cal winds up snowed in at a waystation with post-breakup aro-allo Evvi. Proximity and patience draw them closer, both in the day when they are human, and at night, when they become vampire and werewolf.

      Content Notes

      Content notes are notes that help readers decide whether a book contains material that they need to be in a specific mindset for or avoid altogether. Sometimes they're known as trigger warnings, which are intended to help trauma survivors avoid being surprised by content that will trigger them.

      This story contains:

      Discussion of gun violence

      Food

      Graphic descriptions of hunger

      Grief

      Non-graphic animal death

      Pre-story queer death

      Just as the chalet-like wayhouse came into Cal's view, snow began to sift down around him. He glared at it in dismay, assessing the options. Make camp now, hope to survive the cold, and wait for the night to drag him into its clutches for Takers only knew how long this time? Or keep moving and try to make it to the safety of the wayhouse before sunset?

      His feet decided for him. They set off along the road, carrying him through the grey sprinkle that covered and clung to the moss-veined tarmac. As he went on, the snow grew thicker and heavier until he could hardly see where he was going. Only the knowledge that the next wayhouse was closer than the one he'd left that morning kept him going forward rather than retracing his steps. He navigated along the familiar route as much by memory as anything else.
