The Dark of Twilight (Twilight Shifters book 1)
“Aein ran her brush through her hair, smoothing out the tangles and knots until it hung with a high gloss. She pulled her dress uniform out of her footlocker. It was the first time she would don the green trousers and shirt. She slid them on and then placed her chainmail over it. The chainmail had been freshly oiled and cleaned, giving it a gleam she had not seen since she had received it. Finally, she pulled out her special leather armor. It was freshly painted green and yellow in the col...ors of Lord Arnkell's coat of arms. She looked around and everyone was taking similar care. No one met her eyes, though. They still only interacted with her when necessary, presenting her with cold professionalism.

He had raised his glass to her whenever she entered, but made no effort to join her. Lord Arnkell had long since stopped acknowledging her. She understood. Finn was, after all, an emissary from the Haidra Kingdom, but she found herself wishing for another moment on the archery green with him, another evening spent in Cook Bolstad's cellar.MoreLess
