Idyll fades into nothing as I accelerate down the highway. 

By the time we reach the outskirts of town, the sky has begun to mourn. Its somber gray deepens almost to charcoal, the overburdened clouds disconsolate and sagging. The wind moans a lament. 

All at once, the grieving canopy bursts open, bawling and raging as it hurls its frozen content to the ground. The flakes pelt the windshield, leaving wet traces like tears.

•••

Goodbye Idyll. Hello future. Grief-stricken and overwhelmed, Kyrie Reed is determined to leave her old life behind. Another new start, this time in a different place. A town with no Murray, no bad memories, and no distractions. Somewhere she can mourn—and heal—in peace.

As she navigates her new life, she discovers peace doesn’t come easily. And some people haven’t been left as far behind as she thought. Will her latest mistake cost her everything?

The final book in the epitaph trilogy.
