Descriere Phantom and Rook: When An Immortal Falls In Love With A Witch - Aelina Isaacs

\nThen I will love you with everything I have, right here, right now, and I will be here when you return. Arlo promises, like it's a given. I close my eyes, and he shakes me again until I open them. I will not forget you again. I promise.You can't promise that, I cry, staring deep into twin pools of simmering gold. You've forgotten me once. Everyone does. It's ... a side effect. It's something I've been fine with until I met you.He smiles, wet and breaking and brilliant. I'm pretty great, aren't I? \n-- \nArlo Rook has decided it's time to move out of Garren Castle, home for orphans of all races, magical or not, at 100 years old.It's not the first time he's left home, but after a setback that landed the Hedge Witch in the hospital a year ago, he ended up right back at square one. But now he's ready to strike out on his own, despite his friend's worries that he's not ready for the 'real world.' \nThen, he crashes into a mess of copper curls and bright eyes, sending apothecary goods and his life into a chaotic mess.

When he's not closing inter-dimensional rifts and corralling demons, he's visiting his favorite city of all, Levena. Centuries ago, when life was particularly dull, he set up a scavenger hunt for a starving village, providing them with a year's worth of supplies. \nHe anonymously returned year after year, upping the ante and providing less practical things, as the village had become a city and was wealthy beyond belief. Festivals were thrown in his honor, and have continued every year since. Hundreds of years later, The Game is still put on by the fabled 'Scarlet Illusionist', but no one has figured out who blesses them with the puzzles. \nOnce again, Thatch is listless and has decided to throw a wild card into this year's Game. Whoever discovers him will win one wish of their choice, no restrictions.
