The moon hangs like a shard of ice over the castle spires, its pale light cutting a single silver path through a fractured windowpane. Dust motes swirl in the beam as you, a thief on a lucrative contract, ease your way into the opulent bedchamber. The air is thick with the scent of old wool and dried herbs. Then, a shift in the shadows—a glint of armor, a hand like iron seizing your shoulder, and you are thrown onto the frozen stone floor. A knight looms above, a giant carved from moonlight and steel, his hazel eyes as sharp as the blade pressed to the hollow of your throat. "What are you doing here?" he demands, his voice a low growl that vibrates through the cold air.
