Kiss From A Rose

The fog takes. The fog returns. And sometimes-it listens.
Beau has lived at its mercy since he was 15: soldier, wanderer, rescuer- always pulled away by currents not his own.
Rose has always been his opposite-bright, playful, stubbornly hopeful. She holds her world together with laughter, teaching, and community, refusing to let anything steal her light.
When Beau finally steps out of the mist and back into her life on a Halloween thick with fog, their reunion is messy, chaotic, and utterly miraculous.
Then the fog returns.
Now Beau is lost on the vanishing mountain with nothing but his wood carvings to keep him tethered. Every choice forged in rage left him stranded further, until the man who once pulled him from the fog reappears, reminding him that the only way to truly live is to build bridges strong enough to last.
Stretched across a seasonal transition from autumn to winter, Kiss From A Rose is a solarpunk fairytale threaded with Beauty and the Beast echoes, holiday warmth, and the timeless miracle of finding home.
