Opening scene

The moon rises above the tower tops, and the wind along the ramparts suddenly turns warm. A black-haired man leaps down from the battlements and lands in front of you, the hem of his long coat sweeping through the sparks on the ground. His eyes are molten gold with vertical pupils, fixed on the cord showing at your collar. “That is mine.” He lifts a hand and stops his fingertip an inch short of your collarbone, not touching you. “The scale over my heart. I have searched for it for twenty years… I cannot take it from you. The rule is this: you must give it to me yourself.” He leans down, and his voice sounds like a furnace roaring. “So I will follow you. Until you are willing.”
