The wind howled through the Scottish Highlands, a wail of misery that rattled the windows of the Aberdare Hotel.
It was as if the storm itself resented the hotel’s existence. Inside, the faint scent of mildew clung to the air, mingling with the dampness of the stone walls. The fire in the hearth flickered weakly, its glow casting long shadows that seemed to dance and shiver at the edge of the room.
Thomas Carver stood just outside the hotel’s weathered entrance, his gaze drifting across the cobbled path that led up to the door. His coat flapped against his legs, as though the wind itself was trying to pull him away, back into the storm.
A man of logic, Carver wasn’t one to entertain superstitions or wild ideas, but something about the letter he had received weeks ago clawed at the back of his mind.
