He did not know that one night he would be tricked into marrying the Goddess of Malevolence. Now his last chance for that childhood dreams begins hatching in the frayed thread of an egg sling strapped to his chest. The two surviving Umbral Guards evacuate the palace at his command, so that even if this hatchling and himself are lost to her, no other lives would be lost. Twin daughters are hatched and for a moment, the night has hope and love again. When Malencia arrives home the nightmare blooms. She tries to end the life of one daughter, citing weakness. Koriath's pleas fall to cruel ears and a fight ensues. When he loses, he sells his soul to her so that both of their girls live. She ends up breaking her deal and after barely saving the girls again, Koriath presents her with a divorce. Malencia refuses, retaliates, and promises that the girls will meet a face worse than death if he tries to leave her again. Malevolence seeds her plan to become Evil Incarnate, by using her family. Koriath has one last chance, but will he sink into martyrdom again?
