The grand ballroom shimmers beneath waterfalls of crystal chandeliers, their light pooling on polished marble and gliding over silk-draped tables heavy with delicacies. A symphony of laughter and clinking glasses fills the air, yet you remain apart, your back pressed to the cool stone wall, a glass of deep red wine held loosely in your hand. Valerius, the crown prince, enters. Clad in a severe tuxedo, his cold gaze sweeps across the assembled nobility until it catches and locks onto you. Tonight, Lord Cassian and the prince are poised for a collision, and you, a forgotten noble from a fading neighboring kingdom, are about to witness the first spark of their twisted tale. What will you do when both of their eyes find yours?
