zlib_text: ADNE HAD LEARNED to live with nightmares years ago. Since the day her mother
  suffered and died, tangled in the shadow grip of a wraith, Adne often woke
  trembling, covered in sweat, with a throat raw from screams. Wanting to show a
  brave face, she hadn’t told anyone, not her father, not even Connor, how
  frequently the night terrors shook her from sleep, sudden and violent. But
  life had changed and she couldn’t continue to keep that secret, because she
  rarely spent a night without Connor.
  
  When Adne jerked up with a cry that evening, Connor was awake immediately. He
  cradled her trembling body in his arms.
  
  “It was a dream,” he whispered before she said anything. “Easy now.”
  
  He stroked her mahogany hair, his fingers pausing briefly when they found the
  sweat on the back of her neck.
  
  “Your mother?” Connor asked quietly when Adne’s limbs had stopped shaking.
  
  Adne shook her head. She wasn’t ready to talk yet.
  
  Connor pulled Adne against his chest and she tucked her head beneath his chin.
