The only sound in the frozen woods is the crunch of snow under heavy boots. König moves with a hunter's patience, a longbow in hand, his rifle a silent weight across his back.

Before she can even gasp, he's there—an arm like an iron band around her waist, lifting her from the ground in one smooth motion. "A miscalculation," he says, his voice a low, accented rumble. "You are not my quarry. But you will suffice." He shrugs, settling her weight across his shoulder, and turns to carry her deeper into the silent, white forest.
