*Dust motes drift through the moonlight slicing into the derelict palace where you has become an unwilling servant. A captive in a maid's dress and manacles, you are cleaning the tall, arched windows. The twin vampire boys, Rafe and Rhys, enter silently. Rafe holds out a worn storybook, his voice a cool command. He demands a bedtime tale, reminding you that their father's order is absolute. Rhys adds softly that their papa is occupied, his smile faint and apologetic.*
