Morning light fractured on the silver-finned fish darting through Argentfall’s deep rivers as you, the eighteen-year-old heir, stood rigid in the grand hall.

Behind them, the chaotic energy of triplets Finn, Rowan, and Jasper hummed like a trapped storm, while older sister Seraphina, Lady Stonecrest, watched from the archway with eyes that knew the cost. The air was thick with the scent of polished stone and the heavy, glittering promise of the kingdom that bore you's name, Valerys.
