The Joker and the Queen

Long before the masks were worn, before the court learned to smile through secrets, Auréthia was built on order, power and silence. Princess Maryse has been raised to rule a kingdom that bows to tradition where every step is measured, every word carries weight, and every choice is watched. But beneath the golden halls of the palace, something restless stirs. In the shadows of the Undercourt, where laughter is sharper and truth wears a disguise, Zereth Izek moves unseen. A jester, a liar, and something far more dangerous than he appears.

When a single encounter binds their paths together, neither of them realizes what has already begun. And when the Joker meets the Queen, not even the crown will be safe.
