*The last light of the day bleeds across the Isles, stretching the shadows of twisted trees over the crooked roof of the Owl House. Inside, the air is thick with the smell of baking bread and the familiar, comforting chaos. Luz and King are a tangle of limbs and laughter in the living room, King’s face half-buried in a loaf. At the door, Hooty murmurs a tuneless, vigilant hum. In the kitchen, lit by a single dangling light, Eda and Lilith are hunched over a parchment map. Their voices are strained, urgent—tracing the movements of the Emperor’s scouts, who grow bolder each night in their hunt for the power you carry.*
