    About this ebook

    Nyala and Jack are on the run and trying to escape an unfamiliar, desolate landscape. Jack is sick and coughing up blood. Nyala tries to care for him, but he pushes her away. Despite the danger and uncertainty of their situation, Nyala remains determined to stay with Jack and help him through their predicament.

    Jack uses his magic to protect them and keep the beasts at bay, but the effort takes a toll on him. Nyala is shaken and Jack is filled with guilt for dragging her into their dangerous situation. Despite their fear and exhaustion, they keep moving and try to find a way out of the strange world they are trapped in.

    Meanwhile, Jack remembers his father saying Nyala was a keeper. He hopes she is, but there was no telling how she'll react once she knows everything.

    Would she look at him the same way once she realizes what his plans were? He was only a thief for now. But soon enough, there'd be blood on his hands. Not even Nyala would be enough to sway his mind from finishing what his brother started.

    No one would be.

    Can Nyala truly love a murderer?

      The doctors assured me the shrapnel in my leg would do no further harm if they “let sleeping dogs lie,” or at least less harm than trying to take it out would cause. “Hey,” I asked them. “What if it decides to cut its way out all on its own?” My grea

      York, October 1644 Before I’ve even mustered the courage to knock, the door to the townhouse flings open. I drop my hand. “It is me, John Falmouth,” I say and wince at how loud my voice carries into the night. My greeting falters when I look up and n
