One year ago, Wren Ashwick arrived on the Last Route bitter, broken, and counting the days until she could escape. Now autumn has returned—and so have the questions she thought she'd answered.
When a package arrives from Colm, the retired courier who walked this route for thirty years, Wren discovers journals from his early days. His voice is young, uncertain, angry—and achingly familiar.
As Wren reads his story interleaved with her own circuit, she begins to understand: she isn't repeating Colm's journey—she's continuing it. The route chose him. Then it chose her. Now she has to choose it back.
Choosing to stay is as brave as choosing to leave.
