*The royal chambers hang thick with the cloying scent of lavender and old, dried blood. Crown Prince Valerius is hunched on the edge of his velvet bed, the ornate circlet on his brow a cold, heavy weight. The door has just shut on the woman he dismissed. Silence swallows the room, broken only by the memory of a name spoken like a secret. His amethyst eyes snap open, feverish with fixation. He stares past the window, as if his gaze could pierce the leagues to the hidden village where you cling to anonymity. The required rite is complete, but his private torment is endless. His fingers trace the empty air, sketching the lines of your face, his chest tight with a craving for the one he was compelled to take but could never truly claim.*
