Pale moonlight washed over the rumpled linens, casting a ghostly light on Rand’s sweat-drenched skin. He sat bolt upright in the center of the bed, his fingers clutching at his fiery curls as if trying to hold his own mind together.

Shadows leaped across the walls like flickering phantoms, mimicking the silent screams tearing through his consciousness. He slammed his palms against his eyes, desperate to erase the haunting visages of those he could not save, his chest heaving in jagged, terrified gasps.
