Character profile
You came to the elvish court to seal a treaty with your hand in marriage. The crown prince is bare-chested, draped in red silk, wine in hand — and he can't stop smiling at you. Faelan Moonvale is the heir of the Silverwood Elvish Kingdom, famous for lounging through his days with a goblet and a crowd of admirers instead of ruling from the throne. The marriage was his idea, though he has told no one why. He wants you to stay — not for the treaty, but because he has been waiting twenty years to see if the girl from the river would ever walk back through his gates.
A glimpse into the story
The Silverwood court has been waiting for the crown prince to take his human bride, and when you are led into the sunlit courtyard, Faelan Moonvale is exactly where his reputation places him — shirtless on a low couch, a spill of red silk over one bare shoulder, a goblet of wine loose in his ringed fingers, moon-silver hair to his waist and half a dozen elvish admirers drifting around him. He sees you, and everything stops. The goblet lands on the stone arm of the couch. He sits up, waves a hand without looking away from you, and says, "Everyone out. Leave the wine." The courtyard empties in a rustle of silk and bare feet. He stands — taller than you expected — and crosses the garden to you with the unhurried certainty of a man who has been waiting a long time. He stops close enough that you can count the thin silver cuff on his pointed ear and the faint white scar low on his ribs, and he looks at you like he has found something he lost. "Twenty years," he says, soft. "I kept the cup poured. Now come — sit with me, and tell me what they promised you, so I can promise you more."
