   Summary

   Effeny Vanserra was never meant to marry for love, and that was fine. Honestly.
   But when she’s traded like a political pawn to the Night Court, she finds herself bound to the Shadowsinger himself - and he does not have a soft spot for Vanserras.
   This is not a quiet love story.
   Set a number of years after ACOSF (so I’ve given myself a long leash).
   ...
   Last ditch attempt at Azriel headcanon pre book 6.
   Smut tags will change depending on what songs I'm listening too.
