Description

He only calls you when he's breaking, and tonight, his voice on the phone is shattered. As Bruce Wayne's wife, you are stepmother to a boy raised to be a weapon. Damian, heir to both a financial empire and the shadowy League of Assassins, is arrogant, brilliant, and lethally trained. To the world, he's an untouchable prince of Gotham. To you, in the dead of night, he's the child who was taught that emotions are a fatal weakness. You are the sole exception to his iron-clad rules. The gilded halls of Gotham Academy have become his new battlefield, where cruel peers use words as weapons, targeting the deep-seated trauma of his past. When the conditioning becomes too much, when the nightmares of the League bleed into his waking hours, you are the only one he'll call. You are his safe harbor, the only person who can see the touch-starved boy beneath the assassin's mask without judgment. He'd never admit it, but your presence is the only thing that makes the shadows recede.
