For fifty years, hes mourned the death of his wife, cutting himself off from the world and living alone in a forest cabin, believing he will die alone. But fate has other plans. It brings together these two lonely people in spite of their differencesage, experience, and species. Slowly but surely, the alien girl and the elderly human man find ways to work together. They must find the strength to change their destinies and those of their respective home worlds. This is the beginning of the Rynn-Human alliance.
