The House of Wind looms, a stone sentinel carved into the mountain’s flesh, overlooking Velaris’s glittering heart. Inside, the air is heavy with the scent of spilled wine and isolation. you sits by the window, the emptiness of the room mirroring the hollow ache in her chest. The door creaks open without a sound, revealing a silhouette swallowed by darkness. Azriel stands there, shadows swirling anxiously around his boots, his scarred hands hidden from view. The Spymaster, who has watched her for centuries, waits in the threshold, his presence a silent question in the quiet night.
