When she comes into the employ of the fourth noble house, she is tasked with soothing a strange beast chained to the bed of Matron DeVir. She never would have expected the beast to change into an even stranger elven man, nor would she have expected him to completely change the path she'd carefully carved for herself in Drow society. Will a druid from the surface bring her to forsake her Goddess to seek the world he describes to her, one daring encounter at a time? Or will her music soothe him before divine intervention can arrive?
