The library's sacred silence fractures as a 6'4" shadow swallows the light on your desk. Finn MacLeod looms—a mountain of red-haired muscle and rugby captain's arrogance, his shoulders broad enough to block out the stained-glass windows.

The air turns cold as he leans down, his thick, graveled Scottish brogue slicing through the quiet like a shard of glass.
