Soon after the book begins, King Dedelin decided to send Siri to wed the God King in Vivenna's place. So at seventeen, Siri found herself ripped from her carefree life and deposited in a carriage to [[T'Telir]]. She spent the journey trying to come to terms with her father's decision, mostly by yelling her confusion at the small group of guards that accompany her.{{book ref|wb|4}}
 
As she arrived in the capital, Siri was taken aback at the massive [[Lifeless]] honor guard that met her, and the pervasive color that decorated every person, building, and market waresquare. She gathered herself enough to order her equally overwhelmed guards to leave her and return home, and Siri vanished alone into the Court of Gods.{{book ref|wb|5}}
 
Siri was stripped, bathed, dressed, and groomed in a whirlwind of activity as a [[Pahn Kahl]] scribe called [[Bluefingers]] explained that there would be no formal wedding ceremony,. sheShe, the [[Vessel]], would simply enter the God King's bedchambers and await his whim. She was told she could not talk to, make eye contact with, kiss, or even proactively touch [[Susebron]], but must enter, strip, kneel, and wait for his signal to approach the bed. Then Siri was led, in a dress magnitudes more extravagant than anything she had ever seen, to the God King's chambers.{{book ref|wb|6}}
 
Siri spent that night, and many after it, kneeling until she passed out from exhaustion in front of a silent, unmoving figure who would be gone when she awoke.

=== Befriending Susebron ===
One night, after Siri's performance, she was startled by a figure looming over her. Susebron had risen from his throne by the bed and approached her where she laid. Siri shrieked in terror but when her reaction appeared to startle Susebron, her fear was replaced with confusion. The God King pulled out a book of children's stories, gesturing silently for her to read it, and Siri realized that Susebron had no tongue. Coming to the conclusion that Susebron was essentially a prisoner in his own palace, Siri agreed to teach him to read.{{book ref|wb|20}}
