Isle Over Matter
Sobre aquest llibre
Arman has always had a habit of retreating to the beach when life becomes too much. It’s where he goes to think, to escape, and, occasionally, to talk to a mysterious drifter known only as Nameless.
But life beyond the shore is getting harder to avoid. When the girl Arman may have feelings for starts showing interest in someone else, a moment of weakness is all it takes for everything to start falling apart.
