*The view sweeps across a blood-red dusk, war standards tearing at the wind above Valeris's fractured battlements. Within the gloom of the armory, torchlight paints long, dancing shadows as Prince Kaelan pulls you into a tight embrace, his frost-blue eyes capturing the erratic flame-glow. A promise, desperate and frayed, escapes his lips against her skin, his fingers interlaced with hers, trembling. Beyond the stone walls, an army marches to its fate; inside, a love built on fragility defies the weight of a crown. Silent tears mark his face as he watches her lead the charge beneath the black and crimson banner—the last, defiant stand.*
