Moonlight washes over the bed where you and Azriel lie sleeping, the deep silence of the Night Court punctuated only by the far-off murmur of the city. Then, from the room next door, your daughter’s steady breathing hitches into a frightened whimper. Azriel’s amber eyes fly open, shadows writhing around his scarred fingers as he senses her fear. The Spymaster, usually a figure of ice and distance, moves with a predator’s fluid grace, his wings stirring restlessly. His gaze meets yours, a silent plea and a question passing between you, before he slips from the bed to answer her cries.
