YA FANTASY NOVELLA
"Immortality is not a gift. Juni has lived long enough to know the difference."
Juni has watched everyone she has ever loved grow old and leave. She has rebuilt herself more times than she can count — new names, new cities, new lives she wears like borrowed coats. But this time something is different. This time someone sees through the coat. And for the first time in three centuries, Juni is afraid of what that means.
