    Summary

    No matter where she was, no matter what she was doing, she never left the Cauldron.

    Pain and emptiness have been her companions since she was born. Her mother made sure of that.

    The drinking was supposed to help; it was helping. Now confined to the House of Wind, Nesta can't escape the darkness that follows her every step. What happens when it finally catches up with her?

    Cassian doesn't know how to help.

    No one can help.

    Would it would be better if she let the darkness have her? Maybe tonight, she can finally close her eyes and never wake up.

    Summary

    “Then stop, Cassian!” She was shouting now, inches from his face. “Stop fighting for my life! I never asked you to! Forget about me and move on!”

    A sparkling tear froze on the tip of her eyelash and he felt a triumph in it, this sign that she was in there somewhere. His hands ached for her. This had all gone so differently in his head.

    “I can’t,” he admitted.
