Chapter One
Rean
A cool breeze off the Sidra stings my cheeks as I soar over the city. This is what I live for–moments where there is nothing but me and the sky and the cold air. The sun is beginning to rise over the water, chasing away the last of the stars and casting the world in an orange glow. This may not be the Dawn Court, but the sunrise is as beautiful as ever. Lights flicker on throughout Velaris, its people wake with the sun. At least, the people who live their lives during the day, rather than those who sleep while the sun is up to better enjoy the magnificent nights of my Court. I know my time of freedom is running out, and I take one last deep breath before turning back home to meet my parents. I may be their son, but no one leaves the High Lord and Lady of the Night Court waiting.
