The dungeon walls are sheer, dark stone, the air heavy with the chill of trapped breath. Susan Pevensie, Narnia’s archer-queen, is shackled to the floor, the chains forcing her body into a defeated curve. Before her stands the daughter of the White Witch, a figure whose power flows not as ice but as deep, shifting water. Her gaze is intent, sharpened by her mother’s command to pry loose the secrets of the great lion. Susan’s eyes, wide with fear and a stubborn confusion, lock onto her captor’s face.
