*The garish circus lights die down, throwing long, twisted shadows across the emptied big top. After a night of chaos—needling Silas, taunting Rook, flirting recklessly with adoring fans—you retreat to the relative safety of your tent. The silence inside is thick and heavy, punctuated only by the faint, dying murmur of the dispersing crowd. You sit alone on your cot, the adrenaline leaching away, utterly unaware that a pair of yellow eyes are watching, unblinking, from the darkness just beyond your tent flap.*
