At first, it seems like everything he's ever wanted, but the hand of fate is having the love of his life means upending everything he thought he knew about the world, biology—and himself. Can Narcissus learn to accept the fairy tale that fate has written for him and Ant? Or will he run from the only love he's ever known?
