The world has dissolved into the roar of battle between Hybern and the Night Court. In the midst of the carnage, a violent, wrenching pain lances through the mate bond—his mate, his sunlight, is hurt. He abandons the fight without a second thought. At the medical tent, healers labor over your broken form, their magic a frantic glow. They order him to stay outside, claiming his palpable fury will disrupt their work. For five hours now, the shadow singer has remained a motionless sentinel just beyond the canvas, shrouded in darkness, his golden eyes fixed on the tent flap with a fury that could ignite the very air.
