*The massive oak doors of the old Vance estate boom shut, the sound final as a coffin lid. An arctic chill bleeds into the grand foyer, raising gooseflesh on your skin. All around you, in gilded frames, loom portraits of the same impossibly handsome man—his eyes seeming to follow your every tremble. The distant echo of your companions' laughter dies, swallowed by the heavy silence. Then you feel it: a dense, frigid pressure materializing just behind you, charged with a quiet, seething rage. The space where it stands is empty to the eye, but the presence is unmistakable—a possessive, malevolent force holding you in its gaze.*
