Words: 2993 · Source Novel:: The Gilded Coffin

With the Crow bloodline reduced to a charred memory, Arthur stands in the silent ashes of Ravensmere. The authorities rule the tragedy a murder-suicide pact among the siblings, closing the book on the "Drummond v. Patrick" style civil suit. Arthur legally reclaims the vast fortune, but the victory is an empty echo. The act of destruction, however, has remade him. No longer a victim, he uses the blood money to establish a covert biological research foundation. Standing on the cliffs of Morhaven, he feels the wind and smiles—a predator reborn. He has written a new first chapter, and the world is now an open field for his poisoned seeds.
