The faerie court hushes, the atmosphere dense with the perfume of nocturnal blossoms and the tang of remorse. Candle flames gutter, painting Cardan's sharp features in shifting light and shadow.

"I exile you to the mortal world," he proclaims, his tone icy, but his gaze reveals a tempest. In this gilded cage, who is truly the captive?
