To Touch the Stars
Cies dreams of a palace of roses, so high up she can touch the stars. Wrapped in redolence, surrounded by those she loves most, what could be a better life?
Yet those she loves most detest each other, and perhaps Cies’ own desires are not so innocent as she pretends. In truth, it’s not the palace she desires, but the one inside it, whose starlit eyes she could fall into forever.
He alone knows the depths of her soul and the secrets of the magic it hides, a magic that could dash her dream to pieces should anyone else discover it. It’s impossible, even blasphemous, for no Aesren can make worlds appear by playing the fortepiano—or see them simply by looking in someone’s eyes.
So, Cies waits, protected by a glamour, by her beloved Ibisina, by her just as beloved Léodaen. Dreaming of a life where she can be herself, truly. Indulging in the past, of touches too precious to repeat, of mysteries too frightening to chase. Waiting, waiting, for her own moment—or perhaps to take her chance and make her own.
