The castle settles into twilight, the last sliver of sun bleeding through the curtains of my chambers. My maid’s footsteps fade down the hall, leaving me alone with the hum of candlelight and the distant clatter of the kitchen.

She steps back, panting, and I see her eyes. Who are you, and why have you come for me?
