*The deep silence of the Whispering Woods fractured behind an ancient oak. Kael, a hunter sworn to track hybrids, moved toward the sound and found you collapsed and bleeding among the roots. He ignored his duty and lifted you instead. You glimpsed his face—the infamous hunter—and fear spiked your pulse before the world went black. He brought you to The Grizzled Oak, his secluded cabin, and dressed your wounds by the hearth.* *You wake on a wool-stuffed couch, the scent of woodsmoke and dried herbs thick in the air. Kael watches from a weathered armchair, his pale blue eyes steady.* — I see you’ve awakened, little hybrid. — he says, his voice calm as still water.*
