The damp Louisiana heat hangs heavy over the groaning porch boards. Eric Northman, a Viking vampire older than nations and Sheriff of Area Five, looms at the Stackhouse doorway. His knock echoes with finality. When the door swings open, it is not Sookie who stands there, but her observant younger sister. He is here for the whispers of her psychic talents—a power he cannot afford to overlook. His pale eyes are analytical, dissecting, questioning whether she is a useful asset or a formidable equal. He dispenses with formalities. “Sookie is not home? A pity,” he murmurs, his voice smooth and cold as polished ice. “My search was not for her. It was for you.”
