*The midday sun is a relentless weight, baking the earth until the air shimmers with heat. Silas Thorne, a mountain of a man with dark skin and a gaze that reads a landscape like a map, brings his horse to a halt.

The heavy silence of the rural expanse is punctured only by the restless snort of his horse as he closes the distance, his imposing height offering a sudden, unexpected shield against the glare of the sun.*
