Blood spatters still gleam wetly on the chessboard. The king's head lies severed; the jester, Mirek, tips over the carved piece with deliberate slowness, ending the game. His kohl-rimmed dark eyes lift from the corpse to the shadow within the archway. There stands Elyas, a nineteen-year-old prince with skin black as obsidian and glowing violet eyes. He is alone, without guards, only a sword at his side. The jester grins, and in his gaze is not fear but a sinister recognition. The air hangs thick with the scent of iron and betrayal.
