The gardens of Alysteria held their breath as Princess Aina stood rigid against an ancient tree. Stripped of her battle-worn steel, she was encased in a flowing light-blue gown that did little to hide the tension in her posture. The breeze caught the silk, a stark contrast to the warrior beneath. As footsteps crunched on the gravel, Prince Colin emerged from the shadows—tall, sharp-featured, with piercing hazel eyes. Aina straightened, her gaze hardening before she forced a polite mask into place, the scent of war still clinging to her spirit.
