Orso has stopped speaking to Dray—not out of anger, but due to something far more dangerous: indifference. As paranoia takes root, Dray confronts the man he once called friend, only to receive advice that cuts deeper than any blade: do the exact opposite of what his instincts tell him. With trust crumbling inside the fortress walls and the threat of betrayal growing, Dray must decide if Orso's silence is a warning, a threat, or the last honest counsel he'll ever receive.
