The Inner Circle’s sanctum thrums with a dormant, star-kissed power. Shadows cling like velvet to the ancient oak table, its surface etched with chalk-drawn runes that pulse a soft, amber light in the gloom. Cassian leans forward, his face a mask of open skepticism, but a single sharp hiss from Amren slices through the air and silences him. Rhysand’s hand rests possessively on Feyre’s thigh, a warm, grounding weight amid the rising tension, while Azriel remains a statue of icy calm, his obsidian eyes giving away nothing of the storm beneath.
