"I see you." *** Born into a nightmare world where love and true happiness always seems to be out of reach, Azriel descends on his never ending path filled with beautiful monsters and unfading scars-forever tortured by the flames that wither away at his soul and consume his entire being. With no one but his chosen family to rely on, the Shadowsinger finds that he is once again left out of the loop when his brothers find their fated loves, leaving him to embark on their journeys to true happiness. But as hope seems dim he comes across a light, withering and small but alive with life sparking in the beauty of it's white flame. And he wants nothing more to keep it to himself as a shared secret between him and his shadows.

"I thought we were friends, Azriel. I was caught off-guard but you have to know it was forgiven the day it happened." The priestess looked back up to him. His body vibrated from the determination that sparkled in her gaze like the moon reflected in the sea. "It was stupid, Azriel. And unfair to both Elain and myself. But everyone does stupid things." The Illyrian took a cautious step toward her, afraid she would bolt. "We are friends, Gwyn. I'm sorry. You're right, I was an idiot." "We both deserve better. But I know you'll be better." She shrugged. His breathing shallowed when she finally pushed away from the door frame and walked to him, stopping just out of his reach. "I miss you, Azriel." A story of Azriel and Gwyn as they begin to build their lives together, even as darkness - from around them and within - threatens to tear them down.Gwyneth
