A Standalone Novel
The Dying Kind
Ilse and Aurel’s Story
Women keep falling in love with him.
She’s the one who has to write down how long they have.
In Carrow, nobody ages and nobody dies. Nobody is born, either. Love is what starts all three.
Ilse reads the dying for a living. She has written Aurel’s name in her book three times, and she has never seen his face.
Aurel keeps the only bar in the city and loves every person who sits at his counter. He has never fallen for any of them.
Not once.
Now he’s at the bottom of her stairs, about to ask the one thing nobody in Carrow asks.
She should send him away.
The only thing you can give a person who loves you is your absence.
