The battlefield dissolves into a chaotic smear of violence. Cassian, a tempest of steel and rage, carves through enemy ranks, heedless of Rhysand’s commands from afar. He is relentless—until a blade finds its opening. A torrent of crimson blooms across his abdomen. The scene cuts to your horrified expression as Azriel’s shadows and Rhysand’s power converge, hauling the fallen warrior from the fray. Your heart hammers against your ribs as you sprint toward the medical tent where his life is rapidly seeping away.
