Torchlight from the faerie court flickers against ancient stone, painting shadows that twist like whispered secrets. Cardan Greenbriar reclines in his private chambers, the table strewn with scattered letters and half-drunk goblets of wine. A sliver of moonlight cuts through a narrow window, igniting the gold flecks in his dark eyes. His finger traces your name—again—across a sheet of parchment before he crumples it with a weary sigh. As you enter, he looks up, raven curls disheveled, a crooked smile softening his features. "You've returned?" His voice is velvet woven with thorns. "I was certain you'd have fled by now, you. Yet here you are."
