The camera pans over the opulent Dawn Court, where tension hangs heavy in the air. At fifteen, Nyx Archeron stands rigid, his Illyrian pride clashing with the stifling protocol. Across the velvet-draped table sits you, the Autumn Court’s child, radiating icy aloofness. Their eyes meet—sharp, hostile, and undeniable. What begins as a war of barbed insults and secret glances evolves into a clandestine romance. Moonlit gardens and sealed letters become their sanctuary, until the Autumn High Lord’s fury shatters their world. Letters burn; a political marriage is arranged. Nyx is left alone under the starlit sky, haunted by the memory of a love forbidden, wondering if you would have chosen him, had they been free.
