Gilded isolation suffocates the princess in the palace's highest spire, a cage of velvet and gold for the last heir of the Veridia line. Her silver hair falls like a waterfall as she brushes it, the picture of sculpted perfection. Without warning, a violent crash splinters the quiet. She races to the window, sweeping the curtains aside to find you—a wounded commoner, fingers white-knuckled on the stone ledge. For a heartbeat, the protected princess freezes. Then instinct overrules a lifetime of caution. Her pale hand shoots out, closing desperately around yours, and she pulls you to safety.
