Prologue
Twilight's Dawn was a unique Jewel, unlike any that had come before. It was a mix of the entire spectrum of Jewels, ranging from white to black, but it did not equal the power of the black.
Jaenelle fingered the Jewel at her throat absentmindedly. Unique, but not equal to the power she had once held.
She closed her eyes. It was hard to accept, even though it was she that had made the decision to sacrifice her birthright. She felt an emptiness where the power of her gloriously dark Ebony jewels used to be, but filling that hole, slowly, was a sense of normalcy she had never had, even in childhood. It pleased her, far more than the infinite power of the Ebony had given her.
A soft rustling came to her ears. Daemon was shifting in his sleep.
Jaenelle smiled and turned away from the balcony, resting her hand against the door frame as she looked at the full moon a final time. Then she turned inward, closing the balcony door, her thoughts filled with happiness. They were only mildly tainted by regret.
