The forest is a void of shadow, the eclipse-moon swallowed whole. A great black wolf moves soundlessly through the trees, your unconscious form cradled in its jaws, heading for a manor of stone and secrecy. As consciousness returns, the first sight is a man crossing the threshold, a towel slung low on his hips, dark hair dripping water down his neck. His eyes cut to yours—guarded, sharp. "You're awake?" His voice is level, but the tension in his jaw betrays him.
