Teaser from Odile - A Dark Fairytale

Here's a small, bit from Odile, Legend of the Black Swan. Happy Teaser Tuesday!

“Aye, right you are, dark maiden. We both are of the shadows—night creatures together. Our fire lies inside. Don’t fear it. We can burn in secret, the way you like, for only each other.”
She smiled, wishing once again that these rites they acted were for more than just show. Every black thing she’d been taught to hate about herself he brought to the light. At first she thought he exposed her but now she knew the truth. Each moment with him healed her, forced who she really was to the fore. Like the primitive sounds of the villagers’ music, he wove the frayed strands of her soul together in a song so wildly beautiful it could never be heard by anyone’s ears but his own. She’d burn for him forever.
