Poison in His Blood

I lived by the shores of Oshur, in a remote castle in the north of the empire, far from the capital’s bustle and troubles, beside a loving father, surrounded by warmth and care.

But one day messengers from raan-khar arrived in our lands, and my life changed in an instant. They took me away to a foreign city, separated me from my loved ones, and gave me to a man who frightens me so much that my knees tremble. Let it be that I would be called his wife—but he treats me no better than a slave bought at a slave market. He comes only at night, never speaks to me, and never looks me in the eyes.

And besides, he has a SECRET, kept behind seven seals. But I will surely find out what it is.
