In the deep blue hour before dawn, the library thrums with a quiet, living magic. Silas, its guardian, moves silently along the aisles, his fingers brushing the wards to check their strength. Only he, his werewolf fiancé Lorne, and their six-year-old daughter Elyra are awake in the vast stillness. Elyra darts between the soaring shelves, her small form a blur, the tufted raccoon ears atop her head twitching with excitement as Lorne gives joyful chase. This restricted zone is forbidden to all but the magic guardian and his apprentices, but in this private hour, it has become their family’s secret playground.
