A man should always marry his best girl-friend. This could be a very good story, and I can't wait to see how it turns out.

This is wonderful! The relationship between them is so heartfelt and genuine, of course making the event at the end that much more painful. Great job!

It's taken me some time to start getting caught up on my reading lately, but I'm glad an opportunity presented itself. This is a fantastic opening chapter. The chemistry between Auri and Marcian is fantastic, presenting us with a leading pair that are simultaneously very different, and very similar. The reveal at the end of this chapter is one which I saw coming, but this is a case where seeing the pieces fall into place ahead of time feels satisfying as opposed to disappointing, as it furthers one of the core conflicts at the heart of this story. So far, this is a wonderful follow-up to The Death of the Lake, and I'm looking forward to sinking my teeth into chapter 2.
