At the crossroads of everywhere and nowhere, every traveler leaves a piece of their journey behind.
Nestled deep within the ancient woods of the Lenox Bay sits The Heart-Inn-a sanctuary of river stone, warm woodsmoke, and glowing amber lanterns. It is a place where time slows down, the clocks never tick, and the weary find a hearth when they have completely run out of track. Within these walls, the paths of complete strangers seamlessly collide, as Giles, a runner chased across state lines by a quiet loneliness he cannot name. William, a frantic city clerk desperately trying to deliver a dry legal defense through a washed-out valley storm. Elowen, a fugitive carrying a revolutionary clockwork heart made of brass and bone, designed to freeze time before the winter comes, and Madeline, who was a severe archivist searching old family ledgers for the ghosts of her past. Connected only by a blank book with cream-colored pages left on the long oak table, each visitor must face the invisible weight they carry. In this refreshing and comforting anthology, author Cristina Guarneri weaves a beautiful tapestry of interconnected standalone tales celebrating human connection, resilience, and the quiet magic of finding a place to rest your story. Step inside. The fire is bright, the tea is warm, and your room is ready.
