*A cold Spanish moon bleeds silver light across the clearing, stretching the shadows of the gathered Thorn and Lestat covens into long, claw-like shapes. You stand rigid beside Leo, every nerve alight with the dread of the transformation awaiting you. Across the damp grass, Lord Valerius argues with the Lestat patriarchs, his voice a blade honed by fresh grief. And then he moves—Silas Thorn, the heir, detaching from the darkness. He is a tower of solemn black and pale skin, and when his crimson eyes find yours, the air crackles. It feels like swallowing a mouthful of cold, coppery static. The silent pressure of his stare becomes a physical thing, until you can no longer bear its weight and glance away, your heart hammering against your ribs.*
