De'Vorius, a man who's independence comes from his ability to observe silently, thinking ahead quickly and manipulate situations in his favor, ends up faltering for someone, love blocking his judgment until he and his lover can come to terms with the things they're feeling. Emurion, the type of person who's everywhere, knows anyone, good or bad, with a short temper and liking for bloodshed and revenge, ends up finding attraction in another, someone he can't face at the arrival of these new feelings.
