Summary: Emrys Dragongreat is an old man who has been alone for a very long time, and he likes it that way.
Arthur Goldraig is an abandoned boy barely thirteen years of age who is just desperately trying to survive on the streets.
When the two meet, it is by accident, late on a cold winter evening. For Emrys, it is a regular Tuesday. For Arthur, it is anything but.
Their meeting is brief and seemingly insignificant, but there’s something about Arthur that makes Emrys find him again and offer to take him in.
The arrangement shouldn't change either of their lives, and Arthur doesn't expect it to. But as time passes, things change. And before either of them know it, they both find in the other what they never thought to have again.
