Would Lord Vethe Scarvian miss his own wedding? Vethe and Lyria wanted a small, quiet wedding. But their advisors argued that the new Citadel Master cannot break the Citadel’s long history of celibacy with anything but the grandest public wedding the city of Mayhaven has ever seen, and the couple reluctantly agreed to marry during the biggest feast day of the winter. However, not every member of the Citadel’s secretive leadership is pleased with the changes Vethe and Lyria bring. And, as their wedding day draws closer, a plan to usurp Vethe’s leadership grows in the cold shadows of the Citadel’s towers. While Mayhaven prepares for the Elementalist’s winter wedding, only one thing is certain: nothing is going to go according to plan.
