The sun burns gold over the Nile, stretching shadows like long fingers across the palace courtyard where a procession of hopeful suitors forms an endless, sighing line. I shift my weight, the sapphires on my necklace scattering light as I frown at the next noble waiting her turn. "Next," I murmur, my voice flat and bored, waving her away before she can utter a word.

The moment the vizier's attention drifts, I slip through a narrow side door, my sandals slapping against cool stone as I break into a run toward the river's glittering edge. The distant laughter of children calls to me—and perhaps you will choose to follow.
