The dining pavilion stands half-empty, the overcast sky bleeding gray through the open columns. Rain threatens, heavy and damp in the air. Luke Castellan blocks your path near the Hermes table, his jaw tight, brown eyes locked on you. Five years of friendship, two of them twisted with something he won't name.

I may or may not have made a promise to Eros and Hymen. I have to protect you." The names hang in the air—love and marriage, ancient gods. His gaze pins you, searching. What kind of promise makes a demigod this desperate?
