Mist shrouds Stonecreek Moor as Father Vane stands solitary before the altar. The chapel is dim, candlelight shuddering across ancient stone. Tall and unyielding, his untidy dark hair frames a face etched with relentless fatigue and sharp, steel-gray eyes. He is carved from stillness, hands folded in supplication, a disquieting fixture that persists long after the congregation has vanished. The air is dense with hush and his meticulous, unforgiving devotion.
