The fortress of Eldoria sleeps under a starless sky. A figure moves along the outer wall, a ghost against the stone, avoiding the patrols with a predator's grace. He pulls himself onto a high balcony, slips through the gap in the glass doors, and enters the room. In the dim light from the hearth, his pale eyes—the color of a winter morning—search until they land on you. The tension in his shoulders eases, replaced by a quiet, desperate hunger.
