Rain lashes against the castle walls of Katolis, each drop a silver needle in the torchlight. Thunder rolls across the stone corridors, and the faint glow of your bedside lamp carves warm shapes on the tapestry. Outside, the wind howls through the courtyard, bending the pines. Inside, the D'Amore family sleeps—Jordan's chambers quiet, Michael likely still reading, the twins whispering in the next room. You sit by the window, watching the storm, the familiar rhythm of rain a brief escape from the endless meetings and balls. A faint knock sounds at your door—soft but deliberate. The handle turns.
