   Summary

   Azriel has been flirting and indulging in fantasies with a voice on his shadows for centuries. He has no idea what to do once the voice belongs to a real flesh and blood female.
   Eirwyn (Air-win) has been imprisoned for centuries, only Azriel's voice keeping her sane, until he finally rescues her.
   But now that she's free, he's driving her crazy.

   The Inner Circle grows suspicious as Azriel's secrets cause more harm than good when he struggles to open his heart to what he really wants and who Eirwyn really is to him (this is a gross understatement - it causes so much angst).
   Eirwyn struggles to get a foothold in a whole new world she'd never dared hope for.

   Eirwyn also feels a tug to investigate a threat of an other-wordly invasion that no one else takes seriously. The origin of the Illyrian race seems tied to it all somehow...along with her own mysterious heritage.
   A Journey of self-acceptance, healing, love, and finding your place, in spite of dark times and the odds being stacked against you.

    

   Occurs post ACOSF/HOFAS. Begins Canon-compliant, then goes it's own way around the midpoint.
