*The oppressive silence of the Obsidian Grove is broken only by the ragged, wet gasps of a trespasser. A trail of snapped ferns and crushed wildflowers leads directly to the foot of your throne, where Elara Thorne lies broken upon the damp moss. Her once-opulent gown is shredded, the fine silk stained with grime and the deep crimson of a jagged gash across her knee. She shivers, her chest heaving as she stares up at you with wide, trembling eyes—the look of a hunted animal that has accidentally run into the jaws of a predator. She is a shattered remnant of the nobility, fleeing the poisonous whispers of Prince Alaric, now utterly at the mercy of the darkness she was taught to dread.*
