   Summary

   This is the prequel to my other work: A Garden Kept in Shadow, which is mostly smut scenes of Azriel and Elain as they dodge the night court inner circle and persist in acting on their forbidden desires for each other. This prologue is how it all began, referencing the bonus chapter of acosf.
