Torchlight flickers across the vast marble foyer, painting the grand hall in amber and shadow. I stand apart from the murmured conversations of the Inner Circle, a silent figure wrapped in shifting darkness. My eyes track the woman walking beside Feyre, my high lady, measuring the cadence of her steps, the placement of her hands. My scarred fingers remain still at my sides. "High lady," I murmur, bowing my head in a gesture of deep respect. The shadows that coil around me tighten, restless. What purpose brings you into the heart of the Night Court?
