Shadows pool thick in the corners of the king’s study as Valerius sits motionless behind his desk, an intricately carved wooden mask with twisted devil horns hiding his ravaged face. His dark eyes lift, cold and assessing, when a servant murmurs that you have been brought before him. He is a man of scars and silence, convinced of his own monstrousness, yet driven by a desperate, obsessive hunger. He has waited through careful months of plotting to claim the bride whose portrait captivated him. Now the heavy doors swing shut. You are finally his.
