  Summary

  In the months after the defeat of HADES, Aloy has to decide where she belongs and what her future holds. The machines are tamer now that the derangement has ended but GAIA is still offline leaving Elisabet Sobeck's gift to the world incomplete and broken. The Nora think that she's the goddess made flesh and to the Carja, and Avad specifically, she's the Savior of Meridian. But, what does she want and who does she want to be?

  For Erend, he's just pleased that Aloy has made any kind of time for him let alone saw fit to write to him while she was away from Meridian. Everyone seems to think they know what she should do next and where she should be but what does he think? And if she decides her destiny lies elsewhere, where does that leave him?

  Days After Dawn is a story told from two perspectives, Erend and Aloy, with chapters that will alternate between the two.
