I'm not familiar with this location. Can you please tell me where we are?" My voice faltered slightly, betraying the unease gnawing at me.

Shrine bleeds—strike, end it! Kevin Talon flanked her left, claws retracted, his pine-and-smoke scent cutting through the blood’s tang, chest bandage hidden under a dark tunic, forearm scar glinting. His dark hair was loose, frost clinging, amber eyes sharp, scanning the spires, the runes, the shrine. His claw mark tattoo pulsed red, a vow to Sam, her safety his pulse—scout, protect, survive.

"You look unfamiliar. Why don't you stand up and answer my question?" When she was called on, Talia's heart leaped into her throat.
