Summary
Despite Hybern’s defeat and the restoration of peace across Prythian, Elain and Lucien are still grappling with their own demons and struggling to find a way forward. Enter Madame Beauvais, an unconventional healer who runs an apothecary by day… and a pleasure house by night. With her encouragement, Elain and Lucien meet anonymously under the cover of darkness and the glamour of disguise to indulge in their baser instincts.
When Madame Beauvais calls in a favour, Elain and Lucien are forced to work together to help her and finally start to imagine what it might be like to accept the bond. Can they reconcile their newly embraced nighttime personas with their demure daytime identities and connect as their true selves at last? Or will the secrets they keep–the masks they wear–sabotage any hopes they have for a future together?
