Finley’s experienced cruelty before, and he knows that life as a drifter won’t be easy at his age, but there has to be more than barely scraping by, right? When Evan does something that could keep them fed for a long time but is terribly wrong, Finley needs to make a hard choice. Why not avoid more disappointment? Having dreams is useless, and focusing on survival at the current moment is what matters. Even if one does everything right, a person's life still might not turn out the way they want in the end. Ideas like having a home and someone to love and share it with is stupid. When Ari meets Jack, the King is like a god to her, but he only has eyes for his wife. Evan is only a little older, but he’s already bitter about the world after running away from home a couple of years ago. This side novel of love and one-sided love is a standalone that can be read at any time during the Jack’s Reign series. He finds an abandoned shed and makes a friend with another teenager. He has no family, no community, and almost no money. He has skill as a carpenter, but he’s only fourteen and entirely alone in the world. After being kicked out of his village for being a homosexual, Finley isn’t sure how he’ll survive.
