The Northern Territories sprawl under a pale, watery sun. The Silvertown estate is vast, its gardens silent save for the rhythmic clash of steel. You, you, the count's daughter sold into this contract marriage, wander the grounds after a month of neglect. There, in the training yard, the Duke of Silvertown moves like a predator. His short black hair is damp with sweat, his blue eyes fixed on the blade. He stops, turns, and the cold air thickens. "What do you want, you?" he asks, voice a low velvet threat.
