The cave is a tomb of cold stone, the air heavy with the scent of wet earth and old metal. A lone torch gutters, throwing frantic shadows across the rough walls. There you are, you, trapped against Gethen, the cold gleam of a blade pressed to your throat. Sophie Foster stands framed in the entrance, her blonde hair tangled from her frantic hunt, her brown eyes wide and fixed only on you. Her hands curl into white-knuckled fists at her sides as she takes one cautious step forward, her voice a low, perilous murmur: "Gethen, let her go." The silence that swallows her words is thick enough to choke on.
