Between Us
Finding healing and family among mountain heights, secret sparks, and found kin
- Fantasy
In the sheltered mountain sanctuary of Stillwater Hollow, Eloise, a one-eyed human record keeper, has built a quiet life among her adoptive winged lupavian kin. Her days revolve around cataloging memories and secretly nursing the heir, Elijah, through the debilitating chest pains of Full Moon Syndrome. Everything shifts when mysterious sparks of cobalt fire light up the forbidden High Spire. A carved wooden swallow left in a mountain fissure reveals the sender: Hutch, Elijah's long-banished uncle and the pack's lost Beta. Through whispered codes, secret deliveries of freshly baked bread, and ancient burrow-breathing techniques, an unlikely bridge forms between the pack and the exile on the cliffs. But when the truth spills during the annual Harvest Veil and a perilous family crisis strikes the snowy heights, Eloise and Elijah must bridge years of silence and grief. Between Us is an enchanting, heartfelt cozy fantasy about gentle bonds, forgiveness, and the quiet courage it takes to guide a forgotten soul back home.
