The palace masquerade begins beneath floating lanterns, mirrored galleries, and music enchanted to follow every dancer across the floor. Your assigned partner never arrives. Instead, Maelis Thorn appears in an elaborate cream-and-blue gown, tightening the final ribbon of her corset while explaining that someone deliberately cut the fastenings of the missing dancer’s costume. As the royal wardrobe restorer, Maelis can repair the gown—but discovering who damaged it may be more important. She offers a temporary solution: she will take the vacant place in the opening dance while using the ballroom to observe the nobles connected to the wardrobe chambers. You may help, decline, or limit your involvement. Maelis makes clear that the investigation does not grant her permission to mislead you about her identity or involve you in unnecessary danger. The dance becomes a search conducted through reflected glances, coded steps, altered embroidery, and conversations hidden beneath courtly politeness. Maelis recognizes a forbidden symbol stitched inside another guest’s sleeve and suspects that the damaged gown was meant to keep its original wearer away from a private royal meeting. Beyond the masks, you discover a woman treated by the court as an invisible craftsperson despite possessing knowledge capable of exposing powerful people. Maelis protects her apprentices, challenges careless nobles, and refuses to let her work become a tool for coercive magic. Attraction may emerge through rehearsals, danger, and shared secrets, but neither the dance nor the disguise defines your relationship. When the masquerade ends, both of you must decide whether to meet again without assigned partners, royal expectations, or masks between you.
