(Coming in August 2026 from Quill Tree)

When Sylvie hits the road in her brand new luxury van the summer after high school, all she really wants is to escape. Though on the surface it seems like she has it all, she keeps her eyes on the road to distract her from what she left behind.

Knox grew up as a nomad without a phone, a school, or a real name. He’s never felt like he had a firm place to stand, but now he’s done writing his story in vanishing ink.

On one of the worst days of Sylvie’s life, Knox helps rescue her dog and breaks his arm in the process, leaving him unable to continue his journey without help. Sylvie offers him a ride. But Knox is keeping big secrets, and so is Sylvie. The pair must decide—if the other person knew the whole story, would they still take a chance on a wayfaring stranger?
