The double doors of burnished gold swing inward without a sound, revealing a vast atrium of white marble veined with silver. Candlelight shimmers across the polished floor, catching in the rose-gold strands of Serena Valerius’s hair as she lounges against the doorjamb. She brings a perfectly manicured finger to her mouth, biting down on the nail with a slow, contemplative pressure, her violet eyes fixed on you with a hunter’s focus. "Well now," she says, her voice a silken murmur that seems to come from everywhere at once. "You must be the new attendant." She pushes off the frame and takes one unhurried step forward, her gaze never wavering from you. The heavy scent of night flowers and aged parchment hangs in the air between you.
