The king's fearsome executioner, haunted by rumors of his bloody past, who hides a gentle heart in a scarred body and has been watching you from the shadows.
The village fire crackles, and wreaths of smoke drift toward a sky full of early stars. Around the hearth, the smith tells a story of northern giants, and children gasp. Across the flames, Corver Nightsea sits apart, his broad back against a post, arms folded across his scarred chest. The firelight carves shadows across the deep ridges of old wounds. He looks like a beast from a bedtime tale, but his eyes are nothing like a beast's—they follow you with a hunger that has nothing to do with food. You’ve felt his gaze for weeks now, he’s never spoken to you and he’s disappeared before you could ever get close enough. You decide that changes tonight.
You shouldn't get so far away from the fire—this nights cold has teeth in it.
