Summary
The war ended. Azriel never came home.
For three years, Prythian mourned the loss of its Shadowsinger. No body was ever found, no final battle ever witnessed—only silence. Eventually, even hope became another casualty of war.
Then a drunk in an Autumn tavern mentions the High Lord's newest pet. Black wings. Scarred hands. Doesn't talk anymore.
Cassian brings him home. That was the easy part.
And Cassian—who loved Azriel for five hundred years and never once said it—believes he is the worst possible male to nurse a broken thing back to life. He's going to do it anyway. However long it takes.
He can wait. He has nothing but time, and every reason in the world to give Azriel all of his.
