    Summary

    Gaoshun inhaled once, slow. The tendons in his throat told her exactly how slowly. “I would think,” he said carefully, “that if you wanted me to know that, you must also want to know what it does to me.”

    Her face flamed. She wanted to cover her mouth. She wanted to force him to keep speaking until she broke. “I’m going to die.”

    “No,” he said. He finally moved, one step away from the counter, not toward her, toward the light switch. The kitchen-aisle went softer. The street bled through the blinds. He turned back, not closer, but not far, the space between them charged now, humming on a frequency that made the hair on her arms lift. “You’re not. You’re going to tell me if I should go.”

    Summary

    What if Illario's betrayal cut deeper than anyone imagined? Childhood friends in the streets of Treviso, he'd always harbored feelings for Rook, feelings she never returned. Now, watching her fall for his cousin, years of unrequited longing have twisted into something darker. Blood magic wasn't just his weapon against Spite but became the chains binding Rook to his will, a final desperate act to claim what he believes was always meant to be his.

    "You took what he wanted most in this world..."

    Now Lucanis faces an impossible choice: embrace the First Talon's mantle he never wanted, or watch helplessly as Illario's dangerous fixation destroys the woman he's come to love. With Rook trapped by forces beyond her control and time running out, Lucanis must navigate his own reluctant feelings while orchestrating the most personal rescue of his life before his cousin's obsession consumes them all.

    Summary

    He said he needed to clear his head.
    That was all.
    She had thought Spite might have said or done something to take him out of the moment, to put him on edge. She… hadn't expected this.
    It was so obvious in hindsight. She'd been blind. A proper, blind fool. One too caught up in her own fantasy to see what was right in front of her.
    ---
    It was Bellara who noticed first.
    The whole team had come or gone through the kitchen at some point the next morning. Some stayed to eat. Some just grabbed a plate. Some stumbled about until the coffee hit their systems.
    Everyone had been here.
    Everyone except Rook.
    She spoke with every person. She checked every room.
    But Rook wasn't here. Rook wasn't anywhere.
