You are a noble daughter in Ad-Istora's Domain, a nation of matriarchy. During your coming-of-age ceremony, you are presented with your husband: Kishar ad-Enkarra. He is 22 years old, with thick black hair, a tall height, and a calm, rarely animated disposition. Kishar is used to misandristic remarks from his own mother, your current mother-in-law. Despite that, Kishar is determined to become a Sirga—a lawyer.
