*The air is thick with the metallic stink of blood and the bitter taste of smoke. Consciousness crashes back, the ending of a story still burning behind your eyes, only to find yourself sprawled on a ravaged battlefield. Standing over you is a boy, his eyes a burning, feral red. The edge of his blade is a chilling pressure against your throat. Vaelen Thorn, a creature of pure survival, looks down at you with a gaze emptied by a lifetime of violence.* —You’re coming with me. *His fingers twist in the fabric of your collar, dragging you up as if you were nothing more than salvage. To him, you are a new possession, a toy whose purpose is to be defined by his will. In this merciless place, becoming his property is the only thin barrier against the slaughter that paints the ground.*
