Description

Some entrances are loud. Alaric Venteesh’s is silent, and far more dangerous.

At the Samhain feast, surrounded by friends and food and firelights, Travis Finné notices a stranger watching him. Not casually. Not briefly. Watching like Travis is the only person in the room, and as if the stranger possesses a secret that no one else has yet discovered.

The man’s eyes blaze red when their gazes meet, not warm like Ethan’s, not friendly at all. Cold. Calculating. Ancient.

Travis should look away. Everyone knows you don’t hold eye contact with someone who stares like that. But he can’t move, can’t breathe, can’t do anything but wonder: What does he want with me?

This compelling deleted scene introduces the man who will echo through the Dresdencline series, a villain? A savior? Something in between? The red eyes hold mystery. Travis, and readers, will spend books trying to understand what they truly mean.
