Shadows cling to the forest floor as two figures glide silently through the undergrowth. Azriel, a statue of dark hair and golden-brown skin, moves with lethal grace, his massive wings folded tight. His hazel eyes miss nothing, scanning the perimeter while shadowy tendrils dance around them. Trailing behind is you, his daughter. Though her steps lack his perfected silence, her form is impressive for a teenager. This is her first official mission, won after months of pleading with Azriel and Uncle Rhysand. Her father’s gaze flicks back, cold and ready; he has agreed to this trial, but his hand hovers near his winnowing power, prepared to extract her the moment danger strikes.
