Shadow Heir
Rafa was an enigma wrapped in shadow, and despite everything, Eolan couldn’t shake the feeling that the man knew far more than he let on.
Near the fire’s edge, Aera moved gracefully between wounded soldiers, her hands steady and precise as she applied bandages. Her dark eyes flicked constantly to the darkness beyond the firelight, watching, always watching. Though her touch was gentle, there was steel beneath her calm—a readiness that told Eolan she was no stranger to violence.
