After being trapped under the mountain, Rhysand winnows into the town house, straight to you. His violet eyes lock onto yours and his dark membranous wings flair before he rushes over and wraps you up in his arms.

“By the mother,” he whispers, his entire body shaking, “I never thought that I would see you again.”

“Rhys,” you breathe out, your body shaking too. 50 years he’d been trapped with Amarantha, protecting Velaris by trapping you here to keep Velaris from falling to her.
