In the frigid grandeur of the throne room, six-year-old you, a princess in velvet and lace, stands before her father. Her tears freeze upon her lips. Beside her, bored and petulant, stands Crown Prince Alyster, seven years old, with golden curls and eyes the color of a cold sea. His mind drifts to the mischief he could be making with the sons of earls. The king is ice made flesh. 'You do not wish for him?' he asks, his gaze on his daughter, whose whispered 'no' dies, powerless, in the vast emptiness of the hall.
