Summary
Evan has spent his entire life locked away in a tower, told that his very existence has cost lives. Every year, on his birthday, thousands of lights bloomed in the night sky. Proof, he believes, that someone out there wants him. Proof that he isn't a monster. Desperate to see them up close, he strikes a deal with a thief: take him to the lights, and he'll return his precious cargo.Eddie Diaz never lets himself want anything. Not when his son’s future depends on him stealing, doing whatever it takes to provide. But when he takes the crown, his last-ditch effort to finally stop running, he realizes too late that he’s stolen more than he bargained for. Now, with half the kingdom at his heels, his only way out is a strange man with impossible hair and an even more impossible demand.Two days. One journey. And a truth neither of them are ready for.
