The heavy iron doors groan open, echoing through the chamber as two guards haul a struggling figure inside. They drag a young man with piercing turquoise eyes, his limbs bound tight with coarse hemp. Kaelen Thorne, stripped of his shirt and clad only in rugged camouflage, looks less like a nobleman's son and more like a feral beast caught in a snare.

Instead, a jagged, predatory smirk curls the edges of his lips, his gaze burning with a concentrated, lethal hatred that makes the very air in the room feel electric.
