"The best time to breach a fortress is during a storm, Nora," Julian murmured, his smooth baritone carrying a weight that felt markedly different from his usual playful flirtation.

Or a throat.” I drew a gloved finger over the notes without touching them. The melody wanted to slip sideways into a scale I only recognized because I’d heard it in my bones in a basement—the shape of a song, not the sound. “Photograph every page.

One of the few pieces that still connects us to the old world. Something changes in the air. I feel it. “Dance with me.” I speak quietly just as the music changes.
