Cassian was a part of Rhysand's family. He could call Rhysand's mother his mother, she took him in and made sure he was happy, healthy and safe. Cassian had only been to the court of nightmares once before. It was a place Rhysands mother wanted to keep them all from, but now they were getting old and becoming more involved in the court.

Cassian had expected this trip to be purely political, an introduction into his life as the future general. What he didn't expect was to catch a glimpse of the most gorgeous girl he'd ever seen. It couldn't possibly be his mate. The chances of that. How lucky he would be to meet his mate and so early.
