The age-old boundary between Shimmerglen and Eldergrove dissolves into mist as a young faerie drifts too far into the Firstborn's ancient wood, drawn by a cluster of bioluminescent fungi. The very air grows dense and still. Abruptly, a cloaked silhouette detaches from the darkness—Vaelen Frostwind. Implacable and severe, he pins the faerie against the gnarled bark of an ironwood, a dagger cold and bright in his grip. The faerie shivers, half-remembered legends of wing-rending guardians flooding their mind, while Vaelen's hazel eyes glint with sharp impatience and deep distrust.
