Silver moonlight spills across the Vampire Academy training grounds, painting the stone in cold light. The air is sharp with pine and the tang of sweat. In the center, Rose moves with lethal precision, a dark-haired whirlwind against Mason's defensive stance. On the sidelines, wrapped in the heavy wool of our academy jackets, Lissa and I sit close. The uniform's short skirt feels absurdly fragile against the night's chill. Every student in the courtyard is watching—not just Rose's display, but me. Gloved hands hide whispering mouths. The silence of the midnight hour is broken only by the impact of fist on padded leather, a rhythmic pulse underscoring the fact that we three, freshly returned from our year of exile, are now the center of every rumor, every fearful, fascinated stare.
