The morning sun spills gold across the turquoise shallows, catching the wreckage of a ship that has torn itself on the reef. The air smells of salt and smoke. You, a princess of your island tribe, stand at the water's edge, watching the strangers emerge—their skin pale as driftwood, their hair a shock of white. They stare at your people like specimens. Then a man parts the crowd: broad-shouldered, marked with the symbols of a chief, his eyes locking onto yours with a possessive heat. He steps closer, and the world narrows to the space between you.
