Summary
Sequel story to "softly in the realm of night"
In a post-canon world where the Wyrm has been defeated and Elora has survived the final battle, Graydon struggles to catch up to his new reality—one in which expectations are high for him to dethrone his evil father, take control of Galladoorn himself, and, most harrowing of all, find a way to make Elora Danan his wife.

Summary
Harvard graduate student Elora Danan has too many big plans to be looking for love right now. And her obnoxiously wealthy classmate Graydon Hastur is obviously not the type of person she would ever fall for.
That’s why it makes perfect, rational sense if she hooks up with him.

Summary
Following the events of season 1, Graydon and Elora discover they have a connection that will either save the world or doom them all.
—
A heartbeat passes. He inhales deeply, and she can sense his fear, his uncertainty, releasing its grip, a slow uncoiling. She almost startles when his hand reaches out warily, trembling, and brushes a long strand of hair from her face. She keeps herself still, letting him twist her hair loosely around one finger. He pauses there, trapping a copper-red curl in his fist, tethering her. Her eyes fall shut. She imagines she can feel the heat of his skin so close to her cheek. When his hand finally moves away, she barely stops herself from following it.
“Elora?” he asks, softly, almost as if he’s afraid to know the answer.
He studies her, and she lets herself look back at him, his sensitive features, his heavy-lidded eyes. She recalls her dream from earlier, and drops a glance at his mouth, and wonders.
His face falls a little.
“Oh,” he says. “This is a dream.”
And she wakes up.

Summary
Elora is raised alongside Kit and Airk, and agrees to marry Graydon in Kit’s place.
—
Elora dips her head. “With respect, Your Majesty, my proposal is not for you to accept.”
At last she turns her eyes to the King’s son and heir. “It’s for Prince Graydon.”
She has been afraid, she realizes, of what she might see in Graydon’s face. Confusion. Dismay. Rejection. But instead he only looks surprised at being so directly addressed. Belatedly he seems to realize that the attention of the room has turned to him, and he glances around warily in disbelief, as if another, different Prince Graydon might have appeared behind him.
When he finds nothing there, he does not look to his father for guidance as she might have expected. He only looks at her, with a searching intensity in his dark, heavy eyes.
At last, after a pregnant pause, he gives his answer.
“I—” His voice catches, and he stops to clear it, never taking his gaze from her face. “I accept.”
