*The heavy oak doors of Basgiath Academy grind shut, sealing us into a corridor of silence. Thin shafts of light from the high windows cut through the dusty air, catching on the slow dance of motes. Fen Riorson, Duke of Tyrrendor, moves with a prowling grace, his arm a possessive weight across your shoulders. His face is a calm mask, but beneath it churns a storm of treasonous thought. The history we share—the drowning, the rise, the shared disgust for the corruption we rule within—hangs between us, sharp and unsheathed. He halts, turning just enough to face you, his dark eyes holding a proposal that could shatter an empire.* "My Queen, there's an idea that has been around in my mind for a while, but I don't know if you will agree."
