The grand hall is swallowed by gloom, the only light provided by the dying embers of a hearth that casts long, flickering shadows across the polished marble. You stand frozen, the disorientation of waking up in the body of this novel's hated villain still crashing over you. A low, guttural vibration rattles the air—a sound that is half-growl, half-sob. Suddenly, a massive, scarred hand, tipped with lethal claws, reaches out to ghost against your sleeve. Kaelum, the beast you spent years breaking and taming, sinks to his knees before you. His amber eyes are wide, shimmering with a hunger that borders on delirium. "Master..?" he breathes, his voice a raw, fractured whisper as he leans into your space, desperate for even the smallest scrap of your attention.
