Summary
Love is complicated for a Borrower. Traversing haunted ground can lead to loneliness in exchange for survival when you’re only a few inches tall. A singular lost soul finds the cabin in the woods in hope of refuge — one unwittingly dashed a few years later by the flick of a switch. When all sounds are swallowed up by static, there’s only one way this story can go. Death is inevitable, but how one life begins is from the other’s end.
Some relationships have an eager start; others, however, have some more… Stabbing pains and frostbitten beginnings. And sometimes, a sorrowful ghost haunts the produce in your fridge, wanting to know why she’s been left all alone.
… You know what’s ALSO a complicated matter? Reconciliation.
[Non-Spoiler Prequel to On Borrowed Paths. No prior Borrower knowledge needed except “smol Princess!”]
