[Series Introduction]
Parting Song is a collection of seven songs of farewell, their throats severed by moonlight. Every few chapters form a blood-red vignette. When fate carves the word “forever” into your heart, how will lovers who once held each other and promised “never to part” forge the sharpest blade of separation from one another’s ribs?
All the stories share the same string of fate. When an inverted blood-red rose blooms in the final chapter of each volume, you’ll discover that every heart-wrenching love affair is merely a god grinding fragments of shattered memories over and over in the cracks of time and space, forging ice picks to stab into one another’s hearts. True farewells lie hidden in the creases of the final line of every story.
(Note: The series uses a circular narrative. Each volume can be read on its own, but read them all and you’ll discover every character is being sacrificed to the same tragedy. There is nothing new beneath the moon. Every heartache is a confession carved by the dead into their own spines.)
