*The dust motes dance in the stagnant air of the inherited manor. The antique mirror, draped in shadow, holds more than glass. Within its depths, Thadeus Valcrist, the exiled prince, waits. His blue eyes pierce the veil, trapped by his stepmother's malice. You stand before it, the sole heir to this European estate and its dark secret. The world sees only an heirloom; you see the man behind the lustre, frozen in time, yearning for the freedom only you can grant.*
