'Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it." - Terry Pratchett What if there was another other-worldly being that had been stuck in the prison with Amren all those centuries ago?

A Killer. A Nobody. That's who she is; these are the things she knows about herself- or at least, what had been drilled into her since she can remember. Who is she to dispute it when she doesn't even know her own name? In a chain of events that lead her back to Prythian, back to her true home, she begins to remember. But it will prove to be a difficult task to figure out who she is now and if she can be the person she was before. It seems she has a part to play that has yet to be revealed. *Trigger Warning for implied/referenced SA* I do not own any of the ACOTAR characters or original storyline included.

Kaira Jones worked as an agent in her uncle's business. Thirteen years after her parents' death, she moved in with her uncle who was a notorious arms dealer who worked for the government. Working for him wasn't considered an easy job but she managed just fine. Climbing up the ranks until she was entrusted with all of the secret dealings, the company's greatest asset. Completely happy with her life, she didn't expect to fall through a portal that led her to a mysterious land belonging to creatures who identified themselves as Fae. She definitely didn't expect it to happen right in the middle of her weekly hookup session with her ex. In a new land belonging to creatures a billion times powerful than mankind, Kaira is taken in by the mysterious and drop dead gorgeous High Lord of the Night Court. No cap, he was the most handsome man she'd ever laid her eyes on. Not to mention the fact that the rest of his inner circle were as beautiful as he was. Especially the brooding warrior cloaked in shadows. Azriel. Living in a world with the Fae, adjusting to their different priorities and principles- all Kaira wanted to do was get back home before her uncle suspected that she was a part of an underhand deal that would push him from his position of power. Agreeing to work with Rhysand and his court, she strikes a deal with them. All is well and good until her emotions get the best of her and she finds herself in a battle of wits with none other than the Spymaster of the Night Court. Contains mature content.

Like calls to Like - that's what the saying was. The silence that had accompanied Azriel for his entire life had always been coupled with the darkness that /was/ him; in his head, in his soul, in the shadows he wielded. She was paradise and a maelstrom of chaos; his equal in every capacity and together, they were a fate worse than death itself. . "Feeling brave? I promise it'll hurt so good."

While there has been some form of peace in Prythian for several years, an unexplainable darkness has begun to find its way over the Fae lands, with a thirst for the Mother's Daughters in mind. After one of the youngest daughters, Jez, finds herself in the heart of Night Court, dark forces threaten not only her world but that of a world she and her sisters helped shape thousands of years ago. Despite not interacting with the Prythian Faes in over 400 years, Jez must work with the Inner Circle to ensure the world she loves, and they inhabit, don't meet the wrath of shadows and lies that have been plaguing her life, and following Mother, for millennia. Through doing so, she makes unlikely friendships, fixes her bond with her sisters, and finds herself entangled with a certain shadowsinger more than once. ---- All characters, apart from my own original characters, are Sarah J Maas' creations.
