What the River Remembers: a Paranormal Mm Romance Liminal

Kit Thorne has spent two years trying to prove his twin brother still exists somewhere. It has cost him his apartment, two research positions, and most of his friendships. He does not care. The folklore leads him to Vellance, a dying river town in the Pacific Northwest where the locals do not swim in the river and do not explain why. What he finds there is not proof. It is Soren — ancient, scarred, bound to the dark water for four hundred years, carrying the dead across to whatever comes after.

Soren does not linger with the living. He ferries, and he forgets, and he endures. Then Kit arrives with his desperate grief and unguarded questions and the particular warmth of someone who refuses to stop caring even when it costs him everything. Four hundred years of solitude has not prepared Soren for any of it.

One of them is mortal. One of them is not. Both of them have been drowning alone for too long.

This is a love story that exists in the space between heartbeats. Between worlds. Between the moment of letting go and the moment of choosing to hold on.

Contains explicit MM romance, dark themes including death, grief, and loss, slow burn heat, supernatural world-building, and emotionally intense storylines. Intended for adult readers 18+. Standalone — no cliffhanger. Book 2 of The Liminal Series.
