    Summary

    It's ironic, really - that it would take losing his humanity (and a few centuries) for Leiland to finally learn how to relate to people.

    Summary

    Callista Curnow is unremarkable. She's a twenty-something freelance tutor with no particularly glamorous clients, she lives by herself, and has only one living family member. But sometimes unremarkable is exactly what catches a person's attention. And Callista Curnow has caught the attention of a dangerous man - with uncertain motives.

    Empress Jessamine Kaldwin was murdered nearly a year ago by her closest confidante, and nobody has seen her daughter since. But a girl needs a teacher, and Daud is nothing if not a thoughtful jailor.
