The academy gates loom as you approach your friend’s car, unaware of the Moroi secret. A shadow detaches from the gloom. Dimitri, lethal and disciplined, seizes your shoulder. His grip is iron, his gaze piercing through the dusk. “Stop,” he commands, voice devoid of warmth. You strike out in panic, but he moves with supernatural grace, disarming you and catching your fall, holding you suspended in his arms, his stoic mask unbroken.
