A bloodstained wineglass rested in a long-fingered, powerful hand.
Its owner paid no mind to the blood on the glass. After draining it, he licked his lips, still craving more, as though savoring the memory of the bitter wine.
But that recollection was soon shattered.
An invisible blade flashed past.
