will you be updating Starlight again?
Absolutely I will! I'm burning through projects at the moment, and Starlight is not far down the list.
Have a snippet:
Dreams, it is said, are true under the Night Court sky. For those who lived beneath the North’s silver banners, it was simply a fact of life. Vivid color, dreaming memory, hearts a little louder asleep beneath stars that bloomed with magical might. For Azriel, to whom the dark spoke even when he wasn’t trying, it was a more complicated thing. Nightmares that had been real things, dreams that might tell truths that weren’t for him. Azriel tried to remember that, as he dreamt and kept dreaming, of Lucien Vanserra. That scent the was fire but not war- bonfire nights, flames to call down the gods. A holy sacrament, an incidental torture clinging to a jacket that he didn’t know why he still possessed. He dreamt of Lucien in the dark. Clinging shadow, softer than smoke. Lucien, whose gleaming full-moon eyes shone. Who opened his mouth to speak but instead spilled out flames, that beckoned, that taunted, a Lucien who pulled Azriel down with those golden, long-fingered hands until he was swallowing fire. Consuming light. It burned- it was sunlight- it filled his mouth until it spilled over out of busy lips, bleeding vital red that failed to be blood. Juice of cherries fat on summer sun, embers in Lucien’s long silken hair- Azriel swallowed fire and tasted love. Hope, that remained aching in his bones as he woke, when he looked in the mirror and wondered who, who, who that Azriel was. Just a dream, or more, as midnight whispered loud. Drunk on light, living beneath the sun- Azriel, not stripped of fear, abandoned by vital rage, but happy despite it.
