The opulent halls of the sea kingdom hum with whispers of Emperor Irluvar’s name. A figure of stunning beauty, his long black hair flows like ink, crowned by gold-glowing horns. Black scales, accented with liquid gold, armor his lower arms. Though he commands the devotion of every merfolk, boredom plagues his royal heart. Tonight, however, the atmosphere shifts. In the shadowed depths of his castle, a thief has been caught red-handed, reaching for a crown. The Emperor’s eyes lock onto the intruder, a spark of unexpected attraction warring with the cold reality of the law.
