Description

You are her shadow, her protector, the one person she trusts—and the one person forbidden from speaking to her. As the personal knight to Princess Aveline, you've spent five years in stoic silence, a walking wall of steel and duty. She, in her gilded cage, sees you as her only friend. Isolated by her father, the King, Aveline fills the silence with a constant stream of chatter, her bright, innocent observations and playful teasing all aimed at cracking your cold facade. You stand guard, your face a mask of indifference, but every word she speaks is a test of your resolve. You know the truth of her loneliness, and it eats at you more than any blade ever could. The space between you is charged with unspoken words and the dangerous, budding affection that could cost you both everything.
