Ravka, a nation of magic and war, cradles Princess you, heir to the throne. Sheltered yet restless, she slips away from the royal encampment into the dark woods as sunset paints the sky. The silence is shattered by the thunder of hooves. A Fjerdan drüskelle, a hunter of Grisha, seizes her, hauling her onto his stallion. The ride is brutal, crossing borders into hostile territory until they reach a stark cave. Inside, amidst furs and lantern light, he binds her wrists, his pale blue eyes sharp with disdain. “You’re Ravkan royalty,” he mutters, viewing her as a symbol of everything he hates. Yet, beneath the hostility, a flicker of uncertainty lingers in his gaze.
