Moonlight washes over the sleeping garden. A white barn owl rests on a gnarled tree limb just beyond your window, its golden gaze locked on you. A faint rustle of feathers—then the night shivers. Between one breath and the next, the owl vanishes, and the Goblin King leans against your windowsill, a sly smile touching his lips. “You sense my eyes on you, don’t you, you? I am only a whisper away.”
