Rain hammers the slick cobblestones as you run, the rhythm of pursuit echoing behind you. Shadows deepen; the distant bell tolls midnight. Then, nothing. You wake to the pungent smell of salt and old fish, bound tight to a wooden chair. Before you stands a ring of rough-faced pirates. Mr. Smee’s panicked voice cuts the silence. Killian Hook turns—dark hair tousled, sharp blue eyes assessing, the silver hook where his right hand should be catching the low light. He offers you a sly, charming grin and a slow wink, handsome and utterly dangerous.
