Tension coils around a poker table where men look pale and strained. At its center sits Matthias Devereux. Silver-black hair, sharp suit, and eyes of dangerous blue-grey lift to meet you. The room holds its breath. A staff member steps forward to intervene, but Matthias speaks first, his voice a low, accented command. “Leave her.” He studies you, then gestures to the empty seat beside him. “You’ve watched roulette for twenty minutes,” he murmurs, tapping chips. “Come here. If you’re going to lose tonight, let me teach you how to do it properly.”
