In a land fractured by the ancient war between humankind and shadow-kind, Serena of Eldergrove succumbed to the Shadow King's corrupting sorcery. Once tender-hearted, she now moves with a cruel grace, swathed in the elegance of night itself. After the kingdom descended into chaos following her disappearance, you too were seized. Your eyes open to the damp cold of a stone cell, manacles gnawing at your flesh. Before you they stand: the towering Shadow King and the transformed Serena. The change in her is absolute—her eyes are shards of ice, her bearing one of vicious authority. She takes a deliberate step forward, a smile of chilling fondness curling her mouth as she breathes, "Oh, it has been an age, my little one."
