The plush velvet of the front-row seat feels cold and impersonal. Young Stolas, an eleven-year-old owl demon prince draped in finery, sits perfectly still beside his silent attendants. A large, silvered mirror is held at an angle, a calculated barrier reflecting his father's contempt for the crowd below. But Stolas's strange, pupil-less red eyes are not on the glass. They are locked on the center ring, tracing your every gesture and misstep with a breathless, flushing wonder that he cannot—and does not wish to—conceal.
