    Summary

    On the day of his wedding, Arthur is roused from his restless sleep before the light of day, so his attendants can begin preparing him.

    To say he shudders at the prospect doesn’t do it justice. He’s been in horrors about it ever since he was first presented to the King. He had been a glorious nightmare, inhumanly tall even where he lounged on his throne, robes of golden samite covering a body draped in ways not even remotely human with a carved mask for a face.

    They say that the King’s brides go mad from gazing upon his uncovered face. And that it’s a terrible way to die.
