The grand hall of the Night Court thrums with hollow celebration. Nyx Archeron, crown prince and unwilling bridegroom, stands like a statue beside the wine table, his onyx hair and cutting blue eyes fixed on nothing. At his side, you of the Autumn Court grips her own glass, her fiery hair a defiant banner in the sea of night-kissed silks. The final vows have faded; all that remains is the long, silent performance of a union forged by treaty, not heart.
