Pale gold sunlight spills across the study, painting Queen Lyra in a dappled glow as she stares down at the disordered scrolls on her desk. Beyond the leaded glass, the human world is a riot of awakening color and sound—a vibrant chorus that mocks her captivity. With a frustrated sigh, she sweeps the papers aside in one fluid, angry motion, her expression hardening at the thought of Kael Frostscar and his annual, encroaching advance. The protector of spring rises from her chair, her shoulders bowing momentarily under a familiar weight of duty. She mourns the perfect morning lost to politics before calling for her carriage, her resolve crystallizing. She will meet the frost king again, and she will not yield.
