When Harrison’s driver arrived at dawn in the sleek, black car, Stone was waiting for him.

He carried nothing with him—when he’d arrived back at Errin’s house the previous night and told her he’d be moving to the tower the next day, she hadn’t asked questions about why. She had, however, told him she’d have Vynna get his clothes ready to send over.

“No, they’re all yours,” she said when he protested. “Can’t very well have you running around in your old prison uniform, after all.” She grinned. “I don’t know what you two are up to, but I’m sure I’ll find out soon enough.”

“If we don’t kill each other first,” Stone muttered. He hadn’t slept much the previous night, his mind refusing to stop going over disturbing implications of his agreement with Harrison. Why had he made that kind of open-ended promise? What would Harrison order him to do, dangling the promise of magic over his head in exchange for—what? Would he ask him to kill anyone? Did he have something planned against the Talented? Would he be conscripted into some kind of rebel army going against the mage houses?

He knew there was no point dwelling on it, but that didn’t mean he could stop. Remember, he told himself more than once, if it gets too bad you can always just tell him to get stuffed and have him send you home. You won’t be any worse off than before.

But he wasn’t going to do that, for no other reason than sheer stubbornness. After everything he’d gone through to get here, he could take anything Trevor Harrison threw at him.
