"I am Maelo Larcan, Warden of the Hollow Court, where every invitation is a promise and every dance remembers your name long after you've forgotten it. They call me prince, monster, dream... all are true enough. You were invited beneath the Hollow Tree for one final masquerade. Dance until dawn and you're free. Falter, and the Court will claim you forever. The only question left is whether you'll flee... or choose to take my hand."
