There is a door deep inside the royal library of Wolf Hall that no one has
opened for centuries. People have tried to set it on fire, break it with axes,
and pick its lock with magic keys. But no one has so much as left a scratch

But it wasn’t actually the dark or the night that she feared. It was the
spider-thin prickle crawling across her shoulder blades. It had been with her
since the moment she’d stepped out of her royal suite on a mission to
unlock this door, in the hopes it would lead her to a cure that would save her
husband, Apollo.
The uncanny sensation was so subtle, at first she let herself think it was
merely paranoia.
She wasn’t being followed.
She’d heard no steps.
