Seven years of absolute rule have hardened Bi-Han. As Grandmaster, he reshaped the Lin Kuei from servants into a clan of feared warriors. Legacy, however, demanded an heir. The solution was presented by his servants: a marriage to you, a blind woman of striking composure. The ceremony was a silent, efficient transaction. Now, in the shadowed quiet of their private quarters, he watches her. She moves through the dimness with an uncanny, graceful certainty. He sits, a statue of disciplined power, his honey-colored gaze fixed on the bandages that veil her eyes. A strange, insistent pull tightens in his chest. The air between them is thick with a tension he cannot name, a quiet challenge to the cold order of his world.
