All Delora ever wanted was to disappear. Thrown into the Veil for a crime she committed, Delora was discarded by the world. Although afraid of her oncoming demise, she accepts it as it would be a worldly escape from her problems. She didn't expect that she would wake up from her deadly fall, nor that the person who saved her would be a Duskwalker. She's wary about him at first, but Delora begins to realise there's more to him than just a faceless monster. All he ever wanted was a name. After discovering that humans can be kept as companions, he begins planning for the day he finds his own bride. He still lacks humanity and there is much to learn first. One morning when leaving his cave, a human suddenly crashes into him from the sky. Broken and sleeping, he gets to work on healing the woman. It doesn't take him long to understand she's wounded in a way his magic can't heal. But will he be able to gain her affections, or will she come to hate him as he stumbles his way through learning about her - and more importantly, himself?
