Huck finally feels like he has it all:
His own place in New York City, far away from his tiny, idyllic hometown.
His dream job as an investigative journalist.
And now, Kai, the cute new trainee he's been assigned. Every minute they spend together makes them both fall a little harder, and before long they're in 'meet the parents' territory. Should be simple enough, right?
For Huck, nothing has ever been simple, and now he has to take the next step: Explaining to his boyfriend that he isn't quite...human. Or rather, that he inherited the human sides of both his very inhuman parents. Also, that 'tiny, idyllic hometown'? It's actually a pocket realm full of monstrous and mythical citizens, from mothmen, harpies, and sirens, to Huck's hung-like-a-centaur-ex-boyfriend.
Even with Kai's support, making a trip back to The Vale isn't easy for Huck. Between the cozy gazebo concerts in the town square and the beautiful nature hikes, he can't help but revisit the most difficult parts of his childhood. But the longer they stay, the more Kai seems to feel at home. If he wants to keep the man he loves, Huck might just have to face everything he's been running from and learn to embrace the best of both his worlds.
