   Summary

   Gwyn Berdara ached for touch. Though the warm hugs and closeness of her fellow Valkyrie soothed a desire for sisterly affection that she had missed in her soul, Gwyn felt the stirring of want for something more.

   Except she only wanted that with one male alone, and she was nothing, no one, while he was the Spymaster of the Night Court. He could literally have anyone he wished, and she was sure it could never be her.

   The one piece of Azriel that Gwyn never second-guessed were his shadows, who were drawn to her, comforted her, adored her. They seek her out without their master, becoming increasingly bold around her. And Gwyn is finding out that she might like it.
