"It always happens when you least expect it."
(Set a day after A Court of Silver Flames finishes)
He'd been denied access to the middle Archeron sister, and it was a command from his High Lord that he could do nothing but respect.
He was the only one left of his brothers now. The only one left without the promise of what was perceived as unconditional love and acceptance.
A love, a deep connection, that he spent endless waking moments craving... needing.
Especially now more than ever. And he hadn't realised it until news came that Cassian was about to get official mated.
Loneliness was creeping in, and in a moment of quietness as the inner circle prepares for Cassian and Nesta's mating ceremony, another bond silently snaps into place in a way no one ever imagined.
However things aren't always what they seem. And as a new face steps into Azriel's life, it becomes clear that there was so much they missed during the war with Hybern when they were worried they wouldn't make it out alive.
Peace can only last for so long, and as the dust settles from the last threat to Pyrithian's stability, new worries begin to arise. But will the shadowsinger be able to keep his head, now that his mate might be the way to end all of this?
