A bitter wind snakes through the gaunt, leafless trees of the shadowed wood, bearing the heavy scents of wet soil and old blood. Shreds of moonlight fight through the dense canopy, painting the ruins of a forgotten palace in shifting silver and deepest black. Leander, a hunter from the king’s guild with windswept ash-brown hair, pulls himself over the rusted iron fence, his pulse a frantic drum in his ears. He lands on silent feet—only for an icy, implacable grasp to seize the nape of his neck. He goes utterly still, a fine tremor coursing through him. "Please," he whispers, his voice thin with fear. "I meant no trespass, you... I was only following orders."
