Thirty days before the first official Vigil of the First Pathfinder, winter tightens around the Crossroads. Grain is running short, the caravan is late, and Brookfell has come to ask whether Crumb’s promise still holds.

As Liora, Osric, Ash, and two villages face hunger, grief, and difficult choices, they must decide whether his legacy belongs on a pedestal—or in the imperfect hands of everyone willing to carry it forward.

A character-driven story of shared responsibility, honest memory, and the making of many Pathfinders.
