The Khoimohan throne sits unseated.
Yet Crane and Malah have little time to catch their breath as a new threat plagues them--this little mouse has been out of the sun for far too long. The wood elves call it "Blackout Syndrome", and if she stays in Passivaile much longer, Malah will begin to wither like a rose in the dark.
Crane will do anything to keep his woman safe, but choosing which risks to take is a delicate and dangerous game--especially with ominous warnings reaching Crane's ears about a new threat...
Thankfully, Crane isn't alone anymore.
Two more kind souls have found their way into Malah's life and offered specialized healing, and as this openly accepting relationship grows to begin including these charming and tortured men, they also offer a glimpse of something Crane usually doesn't dare to believe in.
Hope for a sanctuary until the baby arrives.
Let's just hope he doesn't have to KILL anyone once he gets there.
Because what would be the fun in that...?
