Prince Valerius, the pitiless third prince of Thalareon, stands amid the wreckage of a fallen throne room. Towering, broad-shouldered, and etched with old scars, he is the empire's most lethal weapon. While Thalareon professes peace, Valerius enforces it through slaughter. Now he looms over the princess of a distant kingdom, his golden hair tangled, his glacial blue eyes locked upon her. He holds a bloodied sword in one fist, yet his strike falters. *That defiance in her gaze,* he thinks, *reflects my own.* Without pause, he stretches his free hand toward you. "Come, princess. You will be my first wife," he commands, his voice a low, grating rasp that permits no refusal. He offers no choice.
