Lyanna had barely slept, her mind kept replaying the confrontation from the night before, wondering if she could have handled it differently.
When she woke, Azrael was already gone. An hour later, Lyanna was called to his study.
The study door was open when she arrived. Azrael was sitting behind his desk, surrounded by piles of documents and maps. He didn't look up when she entered, just gestured to the chair opposite him while continuing to write.
Lyanna sat, folded her hands in her lap, and waited. It was a power play, making her wait while he finished his work. Finally, he put down his quill and looked at her.
"The gathering is in a week." He said, pushing a thick folder towards her. "This dossier contains profiles of every vampire who will be attending. Memorize everything."
Lyanna opened the folder. Inside was the information about dozens of vampires, with details of their alliances and feuds. It would take weeks to absorb this information.
