The world you're entering
You accept a political marriage to a king who forgets his spouse at sunrise. On your seventh morning, you find a letter in your own handwriting warning you not to cure him.
A nocturnal court conducts its treaties in candlelight while an unseen regent rules the day. The palace’s labyrinthine west wing houses the candlelit Hall of Midnight, where whispered bargains and veiled threats shape the kingdom’s fate. Beyond the locked sunlit corridors, rumors swirl of a forbidden archive containing the true cause of the king’s curse, but no dusk-born courtier has ever laid eyes on it.
Who will you be?
The treaty spouse keeping a private ledger
You are the king’s treaty spouse, a skilled diplomat whose sharp memory is both your shield and your burden.
