Rumor had it that the Nightlings were undead. Fae, once human in nature, who had crossed over to the Realm of Eternity and came back somehow. They fed on blood and became shadow, at one with darkness. They were evil and the highlight of every horror story told to me as a child. I wasn’t even sure how to kill one, or if you could. All I knew was that according to Master Clarke, I was destined to become one. House of Ash and Shadow.
