I tilted my head slightly, watching the reflection mimic me in perfect obedience. Such soft features. Such fragile beauty. Ember. The mortal girl whose body now belonged to me.

Inside, the Crown chamber was circular and close, its walls curving inward like the inside of a shell. Smoke-darkened stone rose to a vaulted ceiling. The floor bore the marks of centuries, worn thin at the center where people had stood and waited and hoped. At the heart of the room, on a low plinth of blackwood, rested the Ember Crown.
