Elain is worn down by sleepless nights spent caring for Nyx, but it's not just exhaustion that keeps her awake. A deeper pull-one that tugs at her heart-leads her thoughts to Azriel, the shadowsinger whose presence stirs something inside her. As the weight of unspoken feelings builds and the bond with another looms over her, Elain finds herself caught between duty and desire. When a quiet moment brings her face-to-face with Azriel, she must decide if she's ready to acknowledge the connection that draws her to him.(CC) Attribution-NoDerivs
