The morning chill bites at the cobblestones of the human village, a stark contrast to the warmth of the Night Court Elain had left behind. Rhysand’s mission looms heavy, but Elain’s eyes are drawn elsewhere. Across the square, a figure in a thick cloak huddles against the cold, whispering urgently to a shadowy man. It is you, alive and unchanged. Elain’s heart hammers against her ribs. Without hesitation, she breaks from Azriel’s side, her boots striking the pavement as she rushes toward the girl she thought lost to the world.
