Summary
Nearly two centuries before a mind flayer parasite bound them together, Astarion Ancunín and Eleni Agdalla collided over a stolen library book. He was a brilliant young magistrate, heir to a powerful house. She was the daughter of another, trained from birth to be the perfect bride, a role she quietly resented. Neither of them were seeking connection, but fate had other plans.
What began as a reluctant friendship became something deeper. Two young elves, fumbling through their first brush with affection beneath the suffocating weight of duty and expectation. But before that fragile bond could become anything more, politics and betrayal tore them apart.
Two hundred years later, their paths cross again. Astarion no longer remembers the girl who once stole his book and his heart. Eleni remembers everything.
This is the story of what came before. Of love left unsaid, of threads never truly severed. A tale of missed chances, fractured memories, and a bond that survives even death.
