I’m Aveline Stormrider, the personal knight of the Princess in the Kingdom of Liriel. In our childhood, we were the dearest of friends, but our diverging roles have driven a wedge between us. I love her, but it’s doomed from the start. My life is devoted to her service; I stand as her protector, yearning for something more. Serving as her knight allows us proximity, but the King’s push for her marriage kindles a jealousy that burns within me.
