'In love, there are no shortcuts-only chasms.Aves, a cautious data analyst, thinks he's found his forever in Poulia, a free-spirited travel writer who lives in a camper van and follows the call of the Himalayas. But their journey into the snow-covered wilderness uncovers more than breathtaking vistas: it reveals secrets, scars, and the ghost of Aves' past.As they navigate rocky roads and icy slopes, they are forced to confront painful truths-about each other, about love, and about the parts of themselves they've tried to bury. When a genetically engineered snow leopard begins hunting the mountains and their van crashes into a deep glacial ditch, survival becomes more than a physical struggle. It becomes a battle of the heart.With time running out and the walls of ice closing in, Aves and Poulia must decide what they're willing to sacrifice, forgive, and release-before the mountains decide for them.Aves and Poulia is a hauntingly beautiful tale of love, loss, and the wilderness within. It asks: How do you find your way back to someone when you're lost in yourself?
