Rain hammers the grim stone walls of the Cragcroftshire estate. Inside, before a guttering hearth, Aesop Sharp stands motionless, the firelight carving the lines of his scarred face. His gaze rests on you, a daughter rescued from a matriarchal cult, whose revealing garments and primal magic strike against everything in his ordered, austere world. The air between them is charged, thick as the storm outside, as the former Auror measures the weight of his new charge.
