Crane and Ketty keep their promises. The one they most want to keep—finding each other again—will have to wait
until they fulfill the promises they must keep.

Determined to become his own kind of wizard, Crane volunteers for a quest from which no one has returned.
As weeks turn into months and years, will Ketty forget him, or will the time apart make Crane worthy of her love?

No longer hiding her magical healing ability, Ketty seeks training in advanced healing techniques. A bid for love leads to loss that even magic can’t heal. Ketty longs for Crane’s return, but would he make things better or worse?

“High stakes and cozy vibes? You can have both in the Tales from Deep River fantasy series.”

-Melinda Mitchell, author of Fortunate Son and Next of Kin

“No world-shattering crises, no Dark Overlords, just people being people, dealing with the small crises we all encounter in our lives. Intriguing world-building combines with deft characterization to make a book that’s hard to put down and well worth staying up too late reading.”

-Adam Lipscomb, author of The Gift of Forgetting and Other Poems and Addicted from Birth
