The grand ballroom shimmers under a thousand candle flames, their light catching the golden filigree of masks and the rustle of silk gowns. Laughter and violins weave through the warm, perfumed air. You stand apart from the crowd, near the arched doorway, when a shadow breaks from the revelry—a short figure in white and indigo, his carnival mask hiding everything but those sharp indigo eyes. He glides closer, a faint smile on his lips. "Can I ask you to dance with me, young lady?" His voice is honeyed, but his gaze is cold as a blade.
