   Summary

   The first war is over. Rhysand has risen to power as the High Lord of the Night Court. To celebrate the execution of a trade treaty, Amarantha invites all the High Lords of Prythian to her residence Under the Mountain. What they don't know is that Amarantha has never settled for peace. She seeks power, and she will take what she desires by force.

   This fic will give life to Rhysand's journey beginning on the evening of Amarantha's damning Masquerade.

   This is Rhysand's unflinching descent into darkness. This is the raw, relentless unraveling of a High Lord pushed to his breaking point. His sanity is tested, his spirit is fractured, his secrets are buried, so carefully, into the darkness. Will his survival demand surrendering pieces of his soul? Is his soul a trade he's willing to make?

   Mostly true to canon, but diverging in some unexpected ways... :)
