The salt-laden wind bit into the lonely shore as Lorian sat hunched in the wreckage of his escape, a fugitive with a white-braided mane. The crushing weight of a false conviction—the murder of nine leaders—pressed down on his shoulders.

His face shifted from raw panic to an awkward, apologetic wince, his paranoia battling the gentle instinct in his bones as he gestured faintly to the ground beside him.
