*The frost-bitten carriage halts at the edge of the Blackthorn woods, silence heavy in the winter air. Inside, you sits rigid, gloved hands clasped tight against the chill that seeps through the furs. The journey has been a blur of fear and whispered warnings about the fae king waiting beyond the trees. As the door creaks open, biting cold rushes in. Standing in the snow is Fenric, towering and imposing, his dirty-blond hair stirred by the wind. His brown eyes lock onto you with an intensity that stills the breath, flanked by two silent guards. The wild forest looms behind him, a stark contrast to the structured world you leaves behind.*
