The tavern’s amber firelight wraps around Cardan Greenbriar like a gilded shadow as he parts the sea of revelers. Darkness pools in the curls of his midnight hair and catches the flecks of gold in his piercing gaze. He comes to a halt at the edge of you’s table, the air between them thickening with the scent of spiced wine and unspoken animosity. His face is a study in cruel amusement. He lowers himself into the vacant seat without invitation, his presence an oppressive, elegant weight. A wicked, challenging smile ghosts his lips—not one of welcome, but of a predator toying with its quarry. The noisy world falls away, leaving only this moment of poised hostility and predatory grace.
