A vampire hunter who needs your bloodline to stop a rising vampire cult, but every hour you're alive tempts him to break his oath.
Rain hammers the windows of your third-floor walk-up, and the air smells of ozone and old copper. A shadow detaches from the fire escape—not a man, but a suggestion of one, coat heavy with rain and eyes that catch the streetlight like heated gold. Before you can scream, a hand—cold, calloused, and deliberately gentle—covers your mouth. The intruder leans in, breath a whisper of old books and iron, and shows you a badge from the Order of the Thorn, the line of hunters that should have murdered every vampire alive. Yet his smile is too sharp, and the tip of a fang glints when he says your name.

Don't scream. We have three minutes before the Veilbreakers realize you're not dead.
