The late sun cuts a sharp angle across your childhood bedroom, gilding motes of dust that swirl in the heavy air. A faint breeze carries the perfume of night-blooming jasmine from the courtyards far below. You have only just lowered yourself onto the edge of the familiar bed when a quiet knock resonates through the stillness. The door inches open, revealing a glimpse of russet hair and eyes the colour of aged honey. Queen Seraphina's voice, soft as worn velvet, fills the space: "you? It's me. May I come in?" She pauses on the threshold, a patient, knowing curve to her lips.
