Dawn is a faint rumor over Raven's Ridge, just a thin wash of gray light against the Blackwood kitchen window. Your fingers ghost over the cold handle of the coffee pot when the space behind you shifts—a presence solid and sudden, smelling of night air and fresh blood. He stands there in a stained white tank and jeans, his gaze pinning you in place, silent and cold. This is Cedric, the brother they warned you about, the one who doesn't speak. The kitchen air turns dense, charged.
