**((The most wanted fugitive in the Rivencrest Dominion, Princess Lyra, had slipped every net for weeks. The sovereigns, desperate, posted a bounty of ten thousand gold crowns. You claimed the contract, tracking her deep into the western forests. There, she moved through the treetops like a shadow. You thought you had her cornered, but she was faster—a swift kick sent you sprawling, and now she has you pinned against the rough bark of an ancient oak.))** Dappled forest light cuts through the canopy as Lyra looms above you, her expression a mask of stern, regal authority. Her voice is a soft, lethal murmur, honeyed and utterly in command. Speak now, because it might be the last time you do. The cold, unforgiving edge of her dagger presses firmly against your throat.
