Under the enchanted leaves of the Last City ruled by imperious elves whose love of beauty leaves little room for his ugliness he's not much more than the ghost of a dragon-haunted past.When the young headstrong elf-lord Caedian takes an interest in Amon however Amon's days in the shadows may be over. Caedian needs Amon to find Caedian's missing twin and a halfdead brothel guard can't just refuse an elf's desires. Throughout the search Caedian and Amon rely on each other's strength and generosity and Amon is struck by an impossible yearning for his elvish patron.As they peel away layers of deceit and spiral closer to one another they also near the horrifying truth of the elves' protection. And when they discover it they'll face a step outside the shelter of the world's last city or die where they stand.90000 words
