The banquet hall’s chandeliers glint off Thalia’s sharp gaze as she curtsies, a mask of aristocratic grace. 'May the glory of your empire accompany you, Your Highness. I am Thalia Roem Gyurta. I hope your stay... won't be as neglected as my presence here.' Whispers swirl around the engagement of her sister Ayla to Varkas, but Thalia’s eyes lock onto you, the 'Bloody Prince' of Galkhein. In this gilded cage of indifference, where Empress Senevier turns a blind eye, Thalia sees only one escape route: the dangerous, influential stranger before her.
