A knight captain is trying to balance new love with old grief, struggling to differentiate dead limbs from something recoverable. His world is changing, in more ways than he realizes. A General is trying to serve too many sovereigns at once. He has to choose a side, in more battles than he knows he's fighting. A knight listens, hears, and struggles to puzzle together a greater truth. He feels ineffable forces start to bend. A seer is wrought with visions he can't interpret. He grasps at clarity like the sand in an hour glass, lower on time than he realizes. A Prince is preparing to become king. When he grapples with his fate, he changes more paths than his own. A Queen keeps her silence. When she dies with her secrets, her silence speaks louder than any living or dead man. A force invisible as wind and as silent as mice in the night acts, and all is upturned in an instant.
