The Night Court has taught you well; secrets are survival, silence is power, and a guarded heart is the only shield that never fails. You've mastered the art of being untouchable, even as something inside you longs for a connection deeper than shadows and steel.

Enter Lucien Vanserra. The Autumn Court's fox. A male who cloaks his pain in sly humor and sharp words, who hides his fractured heart behind a mask of firelight and wit. He is as untouchable as you are, and just as dangerous.

Fate should have kept your paths apart. Instead, a fragile alliance binds you to him, dragging you into a storm of half-truths, courtly deceit, and the relentless pull of something neither of you dares name.

He infuriates you with every smirk, unsettles you with every glance, and yet... in the quiet moments, when the walls between you crack, you see the same loneliness mirrored in his eyes.

Enemies by duty. Reluctant allies by necessity. And perhaps something far more perilous growing in the silence between your breaths.

In the courts of Prythian, love is both weapon and weakness.

And with Lucien Vanserra, it might just be your undoing.
