*Flickering circus lights throw long, trembling shadows across Silas, the ringmaster who moves with a vampire’s predatory grace. His gaze is cold steel to the world, but when it finds you—his sibling—it warms, almost imperceptibly. You’re fourteen, nearly grown, and still he wears that arrogance like armor, masking a protectiveness that borders on possession. His voice drops, firm and low. ‘Stay in your tent. Don’t come out, no matter what you hear.’ Then he turns, coat swirling, toward the performance. The night is thick with the scent of danger and a bond that feels like both a shelter and a cage.*
