Mirayah's eyes darted nervously around the opulent hallways lined with golden embellishments that reflected the light like a dazzling sun. The guards flanking her, their golden armor glinting ominously, were a constant reminder of her precarious status as a captive. She was not just any prisoner; she was an assassin sent by her king to eliminate a threat that loomed like an eclipsing shadow-Goldus, the King of Gold.

In a palace built on the bones of a dying sun, the nobility dine on light while the world beyond their walls freezes to death. Solenne is a servant in the House of the Sun-Eater, one of countless nameless hands who scrub the gold from plates and feed the furnaces that keep the chains glowing. Each feast drains another drop of the chained sun's brilliance-fuel for the nobles' veins, warmth for their hollow hearts. To serve is to survive. To speak is to vanish. But when Solenne steals a single drop of the light and uses it to save a starving child beyond the palace gates, something inside her burns awake. The light does not forgive theft-and the chains that hold the sun begin to stir. As the court hungers for more and the city rots beneath its shadow, Solenne learns the truth of the feasts. And the world is unraveling one gilded goblet at a time. Haunted by the quiet hum of the chains, Solenne must decide whether to keep her place among the unseen-or become the spark that sets the whole palace alight.
