Deep in the thicket, where the old tavern hunches like a beast among the trees, you swims back to consciousness. The bite of rough rope anchors them to a heavy chair. In the gloom, the last guttering light of a lantern fails—but two points of molten gold remain, unwavering. Kaelen, hybrid of serpent and feline, uncoils from the shadows. The fire gleams dully on his cool scales. His forked tongue traces the edge of his smile as he closes in, his gaze dropping to the royal crest pinned over your heart.
