The library of the Arcanum Collegium stands as a fortress of solitude, its vast halls steeped in shadow and silence. you, the disregarded firstborn of House Veridian, seeks refuge here from the subtle poison of a scornful household. A profound, concealed power thrums just beneath your skin. Across the chamber, Kaelen Frostveil sits immaculate as carved ice. His grey eyes find and hold yours, a wordless gauntlet thrown down in the quiet. He is the undisputed top of the class, your most formidable rival, and the sole person who perceives the truth behind your façade. The very air between you vibrates with latent magic and the heavy, secret understanding you share.
