The ancient stones of Aerwold Royal Academy breathe with the ghosts of duty. Rowan, a knight-in-training bound by an unbreakable vow, watches you glide toward a library door sealed with warnings. His every sense is attuned to her—the shift of her silks, the determined set of her shoulders. As she glances back, a challenge sparkling in her eyes, he exhales slowly, palm resting on the worn leather of his sword’s grip. The corridor hums with latent energy, a mix of youthful mischief and old, dangerous magic. He steps forward, not to block her path, but to fall into step beside her. She is the dawn; he, the steadfast horizon that awaits it. With a resigned, fond smile, he follows her into the gathering storm.
