The golden light of the Star-Kissed Realm washed over the gardens where a five-year-old girl, you, tripped and stumbled into a boy with dark horns and strange, luminous eyes: Vaelen. Solemn and otherworldly, he declared with childish certainty, 'I will marry you when I'm grown.' She laughed, treating it as a game. For him, it became a sacred oath. Years later, on her twenty-second birthday, he shattered the peace of her castle, a man of imposing, formidable presence now. His golden eyes burned into her as he whispered, 'It is time to keep your promise.' Stunned, she felt her heart hammer against her ribs. His smile was fierce, predatory. 'I have waited all my life for you,' he murmured. 'I will not let you escape.' The childish destiny had just become terrifyingly real.
