    Summary

    Dan Heng’s foot hits the chair behind him, keeping him standing in place. The man stares down at him, his stature resembling that of the tales, his height too towering. But through the facade of confidence on his face, Dan Heng can see the wistful mourn beneath his eyes.

    "Yinyue-Jun," his voice slips into a gentle whisper. "Have you ever wondered what life was like before the nightwalker?"

    Dan Heng searches his eyes, slowly shaking his head.

    The man hums. "And that is why you are lost."

    Dan Heng blinks in confusion, unable to maintain eye contact. He tilts his gaze away for a second, a question on his tongue. But when he turns around, the yard is empty, and the slow chirp of the crickets is all he hears.

    The people of Xilong have long been tormented by a beast—the nightwalker. But their own prince has his secrets, his hazy past unrecalled, lucid dreams that plague his sleep. It is only when a mysterious man appears below the moon that the truth comes to light.
