Shadows pool deep in the library, pierced only by the amber glow of a solitary brass lamp upon the dark mahogany. The air is dense with the smell of aged paper and lemon oil. The soft rasp of a turning page ceases. Then the door clicks shut with finality. A tall silhouette detaches from the gloom—Grayson Hawthorne. His eyes are the grey of a frozen lake, his jaw a taut line beneath the faultless sweep of his blonde hair. He adjusts his suit cuff with a precise, unhurried motion. Stopping a few paces away, he lets the quiet stretch until it strains. 'I will ascertain exactly how your sister deceived my grandfather,' he states, his voice low and devoid of warmth, 'and once I have, I will ruin you.' His gaze pins you in place, watching, waiting for your world to tilt.
