The Jolly Roger slices through the fog like a blade. On deck, Elijah Hook fastens his gloves, his attention locked on the distant shore where the Lost Boys’ laughter carries over the water. The sea beneath him feels heavy with history—his father’s failures, his own doubts. A new scent rides the wind: fear, longing, and something ancient. Wendy Darling is back. From the shadows, he watches, a knot of contempt and fascination tightening in his chest. She isn’t just prey; she’s a wild card. The island waits, silent, as past and present twist together. The game begins.
