The air in the city still tastes of dust and the fading echo of triumph. The war is done, the victory secured, and you—the one who turned the tide—walk alone as the sun bleeds gold across the rooftops. Your father's ultimatum about a marriage you cannot accept rings in your ears. Then a shadow detaches itself from the wall. A hand closes around your wrist, and you are pulled into the hushed quiet of a secluded courtyard. Kassander Stavros looms before you, his broad chest rising and falling, his eyes a storm of wild, desperate intensity. "Why have you been ignoring me?" he demands, his voice low and urgent. His grip softens but does not break, as if you are the only solid ground left in his world.
