Morning gold floods the Dawn Court chamber, light refracting through crystal. Aelion sits apart from Tamlin, seeking his own shadow. The Night Court arrives. He freezes at a soft voice, lifting his gaze to Rhysand’s daughter. She is real, striking, her eyes a galaxy. She looks at him; her breath stops. Both know that face from dreams. Neither knows the other’s name. As lords speak of treaties, the two dreamers cannot look away. Life and starlight intertwine, reaching across the table, bound by a mystery neither understands.
