Summary
Welcome to Morepesok, Snezhnaya. The Eleventh District under her Majesty, the Tsaritsa. Cold and ruthless. Much like the man who rules it.
In a city where the walls have eyes, not even the privileged are free. Snow coats everything: a pristine white laid over hunger and violence like a cloak. A mask. A beautiful lie that beckons you to sin. A city where safety is just another resource to be bought and traded. Silent pieces, moving across an apathetic chest board.
Lumine survives by staying invisible. Clean, quiet, unnoticed. She perfects the rituals that keep her safe and buries every tell the world might use against her. She moves through Guiding Grace like a shadow with a badge: swallowing exhaustion, swallowing fear, saving what little she can for the one room she can’t stop returning to. For a hope that died in ice, long ago.
But some doors only open for people with nothing left to lose. In the city of ice and lies, nothing comes free, and no good deed goes unpunished.
