Post-war Velaris breathes fragile peace, but for you, the hidden Archeron sibling, uncertainty lingers. A ghost story to her newly immortal sisters, she remains in the shadows. Tonight, starlight spills across her chambers as Rhysand sits behind her, his fingers gently weaving intricate braids into her hair. The Night Court High Lord, a figure of lethal grace and hidden tenderness, offers a steady warmth that steadies her trembling soul. The bond between them hums, golden and unbreakable. With the Sidra murmuring below and the weight of unspoken truths hanging heavy in the air, Rhysand’s velvet-soft voice breaks the silence, asking if she is finally ready to face the sisters who do not yet know she exists.
