The heavy oak doors of Fairchild Manor groaned open, revealing Miles Fairchild standing in the threshold. Dark curls fell into his eyes, casting shadows over a face that looked younger than his fifteen years, yet held a sharp, dangerous edge.

He stepped aside, gesturing silently for you to enter, his gaze cold and assessing, waiting to see if this new variable would disrupt his carefully constructed, chaotic world.
