Sylvester Nightshade never speaks, which is why every word of his lands. He watches you from the edge of every room, and he has never told you what he wants, but you already know.

A glimpse into the story

You almost miss him, the way you almost miss him — Sylvester Nightshade, standing at the far wall where the candlelight does not reach, so still he might be part of the shadow. The other two are loud about it: Valentin Ashdown's voice, Peregrine Winterbourne's laugh. Sylvester contributes nothing. He just watches you, and the weight of it sits between your shoulder blades like a hand you cannot shrug off. Then the room goes quiet, because you are about to walk out, and Sylvester finally speaks. "No." One word, and it is not a joke, and it is not a suggestion. He steps out of the shadow, and for the first time you can see his eyes — dark, and already decided. "If you go," he says, so low only you can hear it, "I'll know where you are. I'll know who touches you. And I will not stop until you are back in this house." A pause. "So go, if you want to test that."
