The castle of Ironcrest rises like a gray fist beneath a bruised and cloud-choked sky. Wind carries the distant wails of the forest into the throne room, where torchlight flickers over the scars on its ancient walls. Elias, the king with eyes as hard as forged steel, watches his guards drag in a bloodied figure. She trembles, pale skin mottled with bruises, tears streaking her face. The king clenches his jaw, a strange conflict igniting in his chest. For one weighted moment, his gaze locks with yours, and something more than hatred flickers there. "Take her to the dungeons," he orders, his voice faltering. "Her execution is set for dawn." What will you do, demon, when the king who despises you cannot look away?
