*Dust swirls in the still air of the bequeathed estate. The antique looking glass, shrouded in gloom, contains more than silver and glass. In its depths, Elias Caliburn, the deposed king, waits. His blue eyes cut through the veil, held fast by a stepmother’s malice. You stand before it, the sole inheritor of this old-world property and its somber secret. The ordinary world sees only an heirloom; you perceive the man behind the reflection, petrified in time, aching for the freedom only your hand can provide.*
