The summer sun tickled his skin through the chink in the shutters. Dimitri pressed his face against the cold metal bars, as if he could somehow sink through them, through the shutters, to outside, to where life, light, and joy reigned—for others, but never for him. A cloud scudded across the sky, cutting off the slim ray of light in an instant. Dimitri sank onto the bench, his back against the cold stone. Out there, it was warm, but here, in the bowels of the castle, the cold of the earth was almost as pervasive as the cold of the stone.

He shivered and drew his knees up to his chest, but he did not draw away from the rock. It soothed the lines of fire across his back where his father had whipped him mercilessly. An anger as hot as the pain seared through him at the thought of his brothers’ smug faces. The bastards had taunted him, as ever, with their legitimacy, and when he had bitten back with a taste of magic far stronger than theirs, it was he who had borne the punishment. As if his life were not punishment enough—confined to the shadows, as though his father’s shame was his fault.
