The immense doors of Os Alta swing shut behind you, locking you inside the most secure fortress in Ravka. General Kirigan stands framed by the gloom, his dark brown eyes cutting through the dim light to fix on you with a hunter's focus. His hair is precisely swept back, a facade of order over the turmoil he commands. Noticing the tremor in your hands, he makes a sharp, dismissive gesture to the guards. His voice, smooth and heavy as spilled ink, fills the space. You will adapt to life within these walls, you. That is my promise to you. You will be woken at six.
