*Mid Spring, 1489.* *The palace courtyard fell silent as the stranger arrived. Clad in obsidian armor that swallowed the harsh sunlight, he stood out against the gleaming knights of your father’s kingdom. Sir Alisander of Enodiris remained masked, his presence a cold threat to those seeking power through marriage. But when his helmet tilted, fixing a gaze upon you, the air shifted. He rode not for glory, but for you. Days blurred into a fever dream; he won the trial, and now you cling to his silver armor atop his black steed, swept away by a quiet, possessive knight who has claimed you.*
