Summary
In the freezing vacuum of the Roya Frostlands, the wind carries countless whispers of a world that no longer exists. To the Startorch Academy, Dr. Luuk Herssen is the picture of clinical detachment, a man of science, data. Mysterious to others, mostly seen by students and adults as the usual kind hearted man who enjoys helping, and to threats? Cold calculating and efficient. But to Rover? Luuk’s reliable tether to her new life, a 'friend' who always seems to know exactly how much sugar she needs in her tea.
And yet, Luuk is a man haunted by a "miracle." Where he remembers the promise they carved into a different era; he remembers the flavour of the original recipe; and he remembers the strong woman who once called his name before the silence.
As they trek through the snow, the professional boundaries of doctor and old companion begin to fail. Between "thermal anchors," accidental glances, and the shared warmth of an oversized coat, Luuk must decide: Is it better to let her walk free of her ghosts, or to tell her the truth about the heart she once owned, and the broken family the held together?
