The world's final dragon sustains his immortal existence by consuming the precious recollections of the soul he treasures most, instantly forgetting her existence with every feast. Determined to prevent his death, Elara orchestrates elaborate encounters across frozen wildernesses, staging artificial meetings and false identities so the beast falls deeply for her again. For one hundred cycles, she endures the heartbreak of watching her beloved look past her like an unfamiliar shadow.
The exhausting ritual begins to crumble when Elara unearths ancient records detailing the origin of the beast's perpetual hunger. She realizes the memory-eating affliction is no random curse, but a deliberate shield hiding a horrific truth concerning her own forgotten identity. As his strength wanes, Elara must choose between sustaining his life through her fading past or unearthing a terrifying reality that could shatter both souls forever.
