Author's Note
There are stories that warn us never to look too closely into the dark.
This is not one of them.
The Queen in White was written in answer to a whisper older than its author - a whisper that said knowledge is a curse, and madness its reward. I do not deny that truth can wound, nor that some doors should remain closed. But I wondered - if there existed a light bright enough, could it not burn away the shadow that the Yellow King left behind?
This book is not meant to rewrite that story, but to reflect it. Where the King spoke of ruin through revelation, the Queen speaks of revelation through ruin. Her light does not blind; it forces the world to see. Those who look upon her may not go mad - but they will never again be content with ignorance.
The characters you will meet - Claire, Dolos, and Kade - are not saviors, nor prophets, but witnesses. Each seeks to understand what it means to see clearly in a world built on comforting illusions. They will lie, love, and lose as all mortals do - yet beneath their words lingers a question that no one can escape:
> "If truth is the cure for madness, then why does it hurt to wake up?"
This is their story - and, perhaps, yours.
