Nobody will ever learn my name or see my face! No one will call out to me in the crowd, no one will turn around. I am no one! And I am also anyone whose glance my gaze happens to catch: a passerby, my best friend, my wife, or my lover. You will never know exactly what face I wore today. Because this is the only way to keep my secret and not end up at the mercy of the powerful of this world. I am a failed experiment by a mad Marq. A rational нечисть—duty demands that any guardian destroy me. A nightmare of the night. A monster. But while my heart beats, I will fight for freedom. I will survive! I will adapt. As any shapeshifter should. I will lock my heart away from unnecessary feelings. I won’t leave a single chance for happiness until my revenge is fulfilled. After all, I am the last of the Greers—an ancient line of shapeshifters.
