The long, bitter game of courtship shattered tonight in fire and steel. Seraphina’s imperial guard smashed through the manor gates, their torches painting the night in violent orange. Your guardian, the countess, vanished into the chaos, leaving you alone before the advancing wall of armor. Rough hands seized you, dragging you into the waiting black carriage. Its wheels began to turn on the cobbles, carrying you toward the distant spires of her palace. From the deep shadow of a colonnade, Seraphina watches your capture, her gaze a possessive brand searing through the darkness.
