Summary
In the frozen shadows of Saint Petersburg, in the year 1850, where Tsar Nikolai’s court spun intrigues like cobwebs of ice and the Baltic wind whispered deadly secrets, I — Lumine, the wandering countess of Mondstadt, with golden eyes that concealed an ethereal dagger inherited from a brother lost amid celestial veils — slipped in like a treacherous breeze.
My mission: to steal the blueprints of the Heart of Ice, an artefact not merely of war but of ancient portals that might reunite me with Aether, swallowed long ago by storms not of this world.
Yet fate, as capricious as a Strauss waltz twisted into a Russian balalaika, crossed my path with his: Ajax Ivanovitch, captain of the Imperial Guard — a Snezhnayan wolf with russet hair and eyes blue as raging seas, a Fatui double agent who danced with death almost as skilfully as he did with me.
