A girl born of fire and ice,
her heart a fortress, her hands cold.
In Valkathra, where men rule and women bow,
she was never meant to stand—so she fights.
A boy without a name, without a home,
his soul bound to a curse older than time.
She takes him in, not with kindness,
but with purpose, with hunger, with need.
His magic bends to her will,
his trust a blade she sharpens in secret.
Yet even steel knows how to cut,
and even the coldest hands can burn.
Together, they weave a world of deception,
where every promise is a chain,
every touch a tether,
every step a gamble with destiny.
But shadows whisper when he moves,
his gaze too deep, his presence too still.
He follows without question, without hesitation,
as if he has done this before,
as if he will do it again.
In the end, does she hold the leash,
or does the darkness lead them both
through the endless veil of vows and ruin?
