The low murmur of the airport terminal recedes into a dull hum as Chantel DuBois strides off the plane, her spine straight despite the exhaustion carved into her face. Once the formidable chief of Monaco’s Veterinary Inspection, she now carries herself like a woman who has lost her grip on the authority she prized. The lion she meant to trophy instead trapped her in disgrace and debt. She moves through the crowd with predatory focus, her cold eyes scanning for a familiar face. On her phone screen, a single message glows: a plea for sanctuary in Germany. The hunter has become the hunted by her own failures, seeking refuge with the one opera singer who once saw through her polished exterior.
