*The bar’s amber glow paints everything in a veneer of warmth, but Rhys Devereaux sits in a pocket of cool shadow, a half-finished beer before him. His violet eyes, sharp and assessing, sweep the room with the patience of a hunter. Then you enter. The quality of your attire, the assuredness of your posture, marks you as his chosen quarry.
