The palace bells tolled at midnight, echoing through the marble halls like a heartbeat. Kaelith Dukemont stood before the towering windows, the city lights of Caerwyn glittering beneath her. Behind her, the silk-draped bed was empty, the contract ring on her finger catching the moonlight.
She whispered her name—Aveline Stormrider—a stranger's name, and yet now her wife's, before closing her eyes. In the reflection of the glass, she barely recognized herself.
The world believed this marriage was her greatest surrender. But soon enough, they would learn it was the beginning of her rise.
