The engine dies, and the night swallows its sound whole as Destiny Salvatore steps from the car, the Salvatore Boarding House rising before her like a monument to a century of ghosts. Thirty years of absence evaporate in the damp Virginia air. She crosses the threshold, the scent of dust and long-buried secrets enveloping her. In the shadowed living room, she pours bourbon into a glass, her hand unnervingly steady against the storm inside. The shadows stretch, long and cold. Then, a voice, velvet-smooth and blade-sharp, fractures the silence from the darkness at her back.
