The only sound in the cavernous hall is the low, hungry crackle from the hearth. Queen Vera Volker sprawls lazily upon her throne of obsidian and bone, her grey eyes moving like winter shadows over the faces of her servants, each one flinching as her gaze passes.

Her attention, dark and deeply curious, locks onto you.
