A mage without magic. A dying human. A squirrel intent on setting them up. Jai: I've lived my whole life with a terminal illness, knowing I'd never be "normal." I basically just existed, one day at a time with my dog as my sole, faithful companion. Then one day, Fate intervened and an encounter with a beautiful man gave me something I'd never had before: Hope. Could I really have the life I never thought I would have? Could I have all the things I'd only ever dreamed of having? Health, happiness, a full life...love? Raphael: I was always the black sheep of the family, the mage with faulty magic. I'd lived for a hundred and fifty years being taunted and put down, and I'd had to take it all with a smile.
