Summary
Serafina is a jaded member of the vampiric elite, wearily emulating the motions of life. When she is gifted Kaden, a defective bloodslave worn by years of abuse, her unexpected fondness for the boy is not the only peculiar thing about him.
With an unprecedented human rebellion threatening the society Sera has long abandoned, a conspiracy becomes stranger as she unravels it, and Kaden is somehow connected to it all.

Summary
He drinks in the sight of him now, all grown. He is an adult now, taller than Odysseus. Shoulders broad and arms firm, eyes the same dark shade of his mother's. Dressed in gold and linen, he looked every bit like the prince his lineage calls him to be. Still, Odysseus knows he would have known him even while dressed in rags or filthy from toil. He looks just like his father, from the sculpt of his face to the curls of his hair. His son. His son.
It is all he can do to keep from reaching out and holding him, gods be damned.

Summary
Her hands, too, have grown rough with time. Calloused, aching. She will trace the threads of him, weaving until she can find herself glimpsing at the beginnings of a tapestry. She will tuck his graying hair behind his ear, combing her hand through errant strands. He will turn his cheek, breathe into her palm. He will kiss each joint of her knuckles, kiss her wrist, her arm.
