CL Prologue
A man stood surveying the cold, barren expanse of the mountains, his gaze more piercing and intense than it had ever been when he had cut down his enemies.

CL Chapter 24
A betrothed. A fiancé. Such were the titles they bore, yet the only bond between them was a contract, a set of documents, signed and sealed by King Diandel and the late Duke Karthenon.
