Gavriel was one of the six elite soldiers of Maeve's Cadre. Being bounded by a blood oath to Maeve, her command was of utmost importance. He had loved a woman so dearly once, had left her so she would be safe from Maeve's eyes and influence. So she wouldn't become a weakness. A century later, the same woman was standing in front of him. As shaken as he was. With Aedion Ashryver. Their son, that he was oblivious to. His heart pounded so loudly in his chest. What he would give to hold her again.
