   Summary

   Elain Archeron is not the trembling fawn everyone believes her to be.

   Two years after the war, she feels an awakening- a power which calls her to grow untamed things under moonlight. She then receives an invitation to master her abilities as a Seer under the guidance of an Oracle of the Day Court. All the while fighting an inevitable war of passion for a holy mess of a shadow-wreathed male who looks at her with all the longing in the world.

   So perhaps a little more softly, a little more lethally, Elain begins her journey down the path unknown. For there’s something blooming within her. Something darker, softer, and wilder than she can name- reaching for the song of the Void.

   “Damn the Cauldron.” Azriel strode towards her. “Damn the Stars.” He closed the distance.
   “This-” those scarred hands softly gripped her face, bringing it within an inch of his own. “This-” he wrapped his scent around her and met her gaze directly, making sure she could feel the charge, the need, the nameless want-

   “This could never be a mistake.”
