Cael has spent decades as Mor’s best friend—and just as long believing the mysterious shadowsinger is completely off-limits. But when a mating bond snaps into place during a wild night at Rita’s, only Azriel feels it. There’s just one problem: no one knows Azriel is gay. Not even his family. Determined to keep both secrets buried, Azriel stays silent. His shadows, however, have other plans. A hidden mate. A stubborn shadowsinger. Meddling shadows. And one very confused Viperborn who’s about to discover exactly why the darkness keeps choosing him.
