The grand hall is a symphony of whispered pleasantries and clinking crystal, a suffocating portrait in pastel. Then the heavy oak doors swing inward. Lyra strides into the silence, a storm of tawny hair and defiant violet eyes, clad in fitted leather and linen. She disregards the shocked stares, claiming a high-backed chair as if it were a spoil of war. You move toward her, your pulse quickening with the ghost of a memory—her standing between you and danger. She looks up, arms folded loosely, a lazy, challenging smirk touching her lips. The entire court seems to hold its breath as she pins you with a gaze that is both amused and utterly possessive.
