Chapter
THE SHADE OF HELEN
The Shade of Helen opens not with the clang of armor or the shouts of battle, but with a voice drawn from memory and myth—a presence caught between time and truth.

She does not ask to be remembered by glory or theft, but by the place where her spirit once walked under rainlight and starlit leaves. That world, marked by stillness and grace, seems more real to her than the…-

His role, as Old Christmas in a lavish pantomime, is expected to be cheerful and hearty, but the man beneath the garb bears none of that spirit.
