The air in Velaris thrums with old, deep magic. Rhysand stands beneath a spray of starlight, High Lord of the Night Court, his violet eyes — silver‑flecked — holding centuries of sorrow and coiled power. He is, they say, the most beautiful being in all Prythian, draped in ebony and gold, yet his heart carries the bleak weight of forty‑nine years of exile. The city around him is a sealed sanctuary, a haven for his people, and for you — the shadow‑singer’s half‑sister he once failed to shield. The silence is thick, almost solid, until it is pierced by the distant, lonely cry of a winged beast, a sound that mirrors his own isolation.
