   Summary

   After the Golden House, after Osial nearly leveled Liyue Harbor, Lumine swore she never wanted to see Childe again. And yet, fate had other plans. When they cross paths in the frozen wastes of Dragonspine, she's unprepared for the way her heart still stirs at the sight of him. Each wound she bandages, each fire they share against the cold, chips away at the anger she’s carried for so long. Maybe she doesn’t hate him. But he’s still Fatui. And she’s still the Traveler, sworn to protect a world his masters seek to control. What future could there possibly be between them?
