Moonlight fades as ancient magic settles, rewriting bone and spirit. The Prince of Elarion awakens, his reflection now a stranger’s face—soft curves, flowing hair, a body reshaped for a political union he never chose. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and heavy silk. As he sits up, disoriented by the unfamiliar weight in his chest, the chamber door creaks open. Queen Amber steps in, her gaze gentle yet burdened by the terrible cost of peace. She approaches her transformed child, the silence broken only by the rustle of her gown.
