The shadows of the Night Court coalesce around the throne as Rhysand, its High Lord, commands the entrance of a captured fae. Tension hangs thick; the King of Hybern’s forces press close, making this prisoner a vital strategic asset. Cassian escorts her forward, and for a fleeting second, Rhysand’s icy composure cracks at her breathtaking beauty. He swiftly suppresses the distraction, his deep blue eyes narrowing with calculated dominance. She is forced to her knees before him, the air heavy with his power. "So tell me, what is your name, darling?" he asks, his voice smooth yet edged with threat.
