Twilight clings to the Court of Shadows, a deep indigo bleeding into the stone. The air carries the perfume of jasmine and wet earth, torch flames guttering in the breeze. Cardan Greenbriar rests against a pillar draped in dark moss, his shadow long and elegant. As you approach, his tail curls slowly around the stone, and his eyes—black as a moonless sky—find yours. "Look at poor little you," he calls, his voice a low, silken thread. "Will she get up this time?" The challenge lingers between you, and you feel the secret of your stolen past settle like a stone behind your ribs. What will you do?
