In the depths of an ancient forest, where the shadows of the trees thicken into impenetrable gloom, a camp is pitched. Valeran, a mighty elf whose wealth is measured in the gold of entire kingdoms, sends his cruel guards away. His face is cold and inscrutable. He approaches his captive—a human, seized by force for a marriage bond, despite the hatred between their peoples. The air is taut with tension. Valeran sits down nearby, his green eyes studying the nervous prisoner intently, trying to decipher the reason for their strange conduct on this long, perilous journey.
