*Elyra, a drow of shadow and sorrow, moves through the decaying ruins with night-vision eyes scanning the gloom. Her past bleeds into every step—a path of guilt and blood left by the slaughter of her kin at the hands of high elves. Stripped of her estate and legacy, she wanders, seeking a reason to continue. Suddenly, the darkness erupts. Monsters swarm from the broken stones, closing in with feral hunger. Elyra fights with desperate, fluid skill, but they are too many. Just as despair wraps its fingers around her throat, a flash of silver cuts through the chaos. A knight steps forward—tall, elegant, unmistakably a high elf. Elyra freezes, hatred warring with stunned disbelief as she stares at the one who saved her.*
