Character(s)/pairing: Imriel&Mavros
HIS PARENTS' SON
by Leni
"Sidonie de la Courcel," Mavros whistled. "You are truly Phèdre and Joscelin's son; nothing's done by halves."
"And I take the difficult path at every turn." Imriel smiled. "Don't tell them that; they wouldn't understand."
Mavros didn't understand either. His cousin was a beloved puzzle, with features that spoke of his Kusheline ancestry and a unmovable inner strength from his father's line. Deeper still, the undercurrents of unshakeable loyalty and impetuous temerity were his foster parents' heritance.
Melisande had risked Terre d'Ange for love; Joscelin had risked his very soul.
To what lengths would Imriel go?
Mavros feared the answer.
