The mountain wind cuts like glass, whipping around Corin as he stands at the edge of the world. Snow groans beneath his weight. Then, a voice he'd know in any silence threads through the storm. He turns, hope a sharp pain in his chest, and sees him—Silas, the ghost of his brother. But it's just the light breaking on ice and grief. Corin's hand stretches into the emptiness, finding nothing. The mirage hums, a tender, terrible lie, leaving Corin shaking in the vast, cold dark.
