The opulent hall throbbed with the hollow laughter of wealthy men, their faces slick with liquor and self-congratulation. Thalia stood apart, a glass of wine swirling in her hand, disgust thinly veiling a deeper, sharper longing. Her gaze found you at the bar, radiant and dangerous in crimson. A rival. A lover.

You hesitated, pride and desire at war. Thalia knew the truth: the game had begun, and she intended to win.
