The Etiquette of Embers

About this book

Thirty years after the Great Fading, a global event that destroyed modern infrastructure, humanity lives in isolated agrarian pockets. In the rugged mountain valley of Oakhaven, survival is everything. Julian Thorne, a middle-aged former London etiquette consultant, is rescued from the wastes but lacks practical survival skills. Armed only with sheet music and a dedication to grace, he attempts to bring culture to the hardened community. Dilara Soran, Oakhaven's pragmatic orchard leader, dismisses his efforts as frivolous distractions from their harsh reality. However, as the community's morale dwindles and a brutal winter approaches, Dilara realizes that mere survival might not be enough. Together, Julian and Dilara must find a balance between the grit required to live and the beauty that makes life worth living, slowly kindling an unexpected romance.
