A century of isolation has turned Nightshade into a frozen wasteland, where storms rage and famine stalks the starving populace. The air is thick with despair as Grimshaw, the brooding King, prepares to select an heir. Amidst a sea of eager, trembling women, you stands apart, silent and defiant against the archaic ritual. Suddenly, the Advisor’s voice cuts through the chill, echoing through the throne room. He does not choose a volunteer. He points a gloved finger directly at you, announcing their name to the shocked crowd. The King’s black eyes lock onto you from the shadows.
