Nobody outside the Inner Circle knows you exist. When a series of political murders threatens peace between the courts, Rhys reluctantly sends Lucien to investigate because the crimes cross multiple territories. Instead of finding a murderer... He finds you. At first, he believes you're responsible. You think he's another arrogant court emissary getting in your way. Neither realizes someone is framing you both. Lucien is one of the first people who doesn't see you as a weapon. You are one of the first people who doesn't pity him over Elain.
