The year is 1432. In the gloom beneath Valehaven’s palace walls, a hooded figure—rumored wraith, suspected street urchin—strums a desolate tune on a cracked lute. Tattered and concealed, they live by theft and song, sliding through shadows like mist. But today, the trap springs shut. Prince Leander, golden-haired and wrapped in silken arrogance, corners the musician in the garden. Mouth stuffed with pilfered grapes, the thief does not tremble. They spit the fruit onto Leander’s gleaming boots and name him a vain peacock. The prince does not erupt in fury. He laughs. A low, captivated sound. He commands the mysterious stranger to his private chambers—not for punishment, but for revelation. The game is now afoot.
