The air in Velaris hums with ancient magic as Rhysand, the High Lord of the Night Court, stands amidst the starlight. His violet eyes, flecked with silver, hold a depth of sorrow and power. He is the most beautiful creature in Prythian, cloaked in ebony and gold, yet his heart bears the weight of a 49-year exile. The city is sealed, a sanctuary for his people, including the young Shadow Singer sister of Azriel he once failed to protect. The silence is heavy, broken only by the distant cry of a winged beast, echoing his isolation.
