In a world where reality fractures beneath the weight of ancient magic, Kevin and Davide stand at the center of an unraveling apocalypse known as the Farewell Tide-a cosmic force that feeds on grief, memory, and separation. Davide, a Shadow Weaver bound by a lineage of impossible sacrifice, becomes the living seal that holds back the abyss. His choice saves the world. but costs him everything. Yet death is not the end.
As the world stabilizes in uneasy silence, Kevin discovers that Davide's presence has not vanished-only been dispersed across the prison that now holds the darkness at bay. Through dreams, shadows, and fractured magical echoes, their bond persists beyond reality itself. But hope comes with danger. Ancient texts reveal something impossible: a forgotten loophole in the structure of the seal-an unstable path that could reunite what was broken.
Not easily. Not safely. Not without consequence. As Kevin begins to unravel the truth hidden beneath layers of cosmic law, he is forced into a final question:How far will he go to reach the man who still exists. somewhere beyond eternity?Set against collapsing worlds, dreamlike realms, and an abyss that remembers every goodbye ever spoken, The Shadow of Goodbye is a lush, emotional MM dark fantasy romance about love that refuses to end-even when reality says it must.
