   Summary

   Following the events of 'Cinnamon and Charcoal, Almond and Cedarwood'

   They say love conquers all.
   But what happens when one lover carries the gunpowder,
   and the other bleeds because of it?

   A year after surviving the Long Walk, Ray Garraty is forced to return to the road — this time with Pete McVries standing on the other side of a rifle. Between them lies the road, the rifle, and the promise they swore to keep.

   Can love still conquer when the road takes everything with it—
   when every step forward means losing each other a little more?

   Because on this road, there are no winners.
   Only the ones who keep walking.
