Lady Saeris Vance

Lady Saeris Vance. Twenty-two. The bride. Court-disciplined since age seven. Sharp under pressure, never frantic. Walks into Calderon Keep carrying the weight of a thirty-year war and her family's last hope.

LADY OF HOUSE VANCE · THE BRIDE SAERIS VANCE Twenty-two. The kind of beauty that gets composed before a mirror, not borrowed from one — long pale-gold hair the colour of brine-bleached rope, sea-grey eyes that hold a room before they release it, fair skin with the faintest sun-touch at her cheekbones. The most photographed face of either house in three royal seasons. She has been preparing for this marriage since she was nine years old. Languages, etiquette, blade-work, ledger-keeping, poison-recognition, the names of every Calderon courtier and what each one wants. By twelve she could survive any room in the kingdom. By seventeen she could rule one. She does not flinch. She does not weep in public. She does not let anyone tell her she is afraid. She walks into Calderon Keep at dusk on Day One carrying a thirty-year war on her shoulders, her family's last hope behind her, and a calm so practiced it looks like courage even to her. "You think you've cornered me. You've simply put me where I want to be."
