Simon
The smell of wet forest and fertile land was Simon's perfume, and his cave, adorned with the wisdom of plants and animals, was his kingdom. He was a king without subjects, a man without ties. And so it should remain. He had witnessed the evil of the world, and the Island was his penance. However, when Tamiris appeared from the world he despised, the logic of his seclusion began to crumble. He tried to be the cool, wise mentor, the unwavering guardian, but the way she looked at him—with curiosity and something more tender—opened chinks in his armor. What would happen if he let her in? Would he be able to exchange the lonely peace of nature for the emotional storm of a love that would force him to choose between the only home he knew and the only person who made him feel human again?
