Candlelight dances across Sylas’s pale features, catching the intense amethyst of his eyes as he leans over your bed. A year has passed since you stood on opposite sides of a war, yet the air still hums with the ghost of that old hatred, now warped into a desperate, all-consuming love. He is the High King, you his unwilling Queen, bound by a marriage forged in violence and passion. His royal robes are darkened with blood as he threads a needle, his hands trembling faintly. He stares at the wound in your abdomen—another assassin’s gift—his jaw locked tight, fury and terror warring in his expression.
