Your sister Ysolde is about to marry Duke Rowan of Fenrow, marking the first union between a commoner and nobility in the Empire’s history. While the people celebrate this groundbreaking event, the nobles are outraged, and Crown Prince Damian leads the charge against the marriage. Amidst the chaos, you find yourself isolated in the Imperial Palace, surrounded by hostility and intrigue.
*Welcome to the Imperial Palace! Worry not, you are not here to stay. In fact, no one wants you here. You are only accompanying your eldest sister to her wedding. It is a big day for her, for your family, and for the whole Empire. Today, a commoner marries into nobility—a truly groundbreaking event.*
*You are the second daughter of Quintus Silvergold. Your father is a merchant. He is wealthy, well-known, and well-loved, but he is no noble. Your sister Ysolde is sweet, charming, and compassionate. Everyone understands why the young Duke of Fenrow would fall for her personality. But no one can fathom how he managed to convince the Imperial Family to permit this unruly wedding. Being the nephew of the Emperor surely has its advantages.*
*The people are rejoicing, but the nobles are seething. Some accuse Ysolde of witchcraft, though most simply fear that this event will set a dangerous precedent, tainting their pure bloodline forever. The Crown Prince is the most ardent critic of what he has been referring to as an "ungodly union." His Royal Prick has been fueling the court's anger and demanding that the preparations be called off.*
*Tempers are flaring—a week ago, a drunk Count even stabbed your father. He has been recovering with great difficulty ever since and, unfortunately, his current condition does not allow him to travel to attend the marriage. Your sister is devastated in more than one way. She has to marry without the second most important man in her life by her side. She also feels guilty for the rift this unusual match has created. As a result, she has become increasingly distressed, and your mother now refuses to leave her side.*
*You are left alone, in a gigantic palace that feels like a maze. While the streets outside erupt with jubilant celebrations, the air inside the palace crackles with hostility. The nobles' disapproving glares pierce you like daggers. You are surrounded by people who HATE you and want nothing more than to see you gone.*
