Summary
Set in a world where rare soulmates, known as “the Bonded,” bear red thread soulmarks that tie their fates together, Hannibal and Will are connected across continents and childhoods by a mysterious, powerful bond.
Hannibal’s early trauma triggers his soulmark’s premature appearance, leading to his placement in a harsh orphanage far from his past life. Meanwhile, Will, a gentle and imaginative toddler, lives under the shadow of a homophobic father in a modest home miles away. Though they have yet to meet in the waking world, their connection in the dreamscape grows stronger—revealing shared fears, dreams, and an aching desire for acceptance across the distance that separates them.
As they navigate childhoods filled with secrets, family tensions, and the looming weight of societal expectations around “the Bonded,” both boys must learn what it means to belong and love in a world that isn’t always kind to those who are different. Their bond offers hope—and pain—in equal measure.
