THE NEXT day, Miro pestered the guards until they gave him a few moments with Amber. They met in a courtyard beside a fountain while the soldiers stood a short distance away, watching them carefully. The sound of the burbling water allowed Miro to speak freely.

He told Amber about his conversation with Emir Volkan, admonishing her not to mention lore to anyone.

"What about Tomas?" Amber said. "Did you ask him about the poison?"

"I can't ask him about it." Miro sighed. "The only thing keeping us alive is the fact he thinks I might enter his service. If Volkan realises we'll do anything it takes to return, he'll have us killed."

"How do you know that?"

"Amber," Miro said in exasperation, "I know."

"What can we do then?"

"I need to find this library, where there may be mention of the poison. Whether I find the information or not, we need to leave this place. If I'm unsuccessful, these alchemists in the north will know. I'm sure of it. When we have the cure we can steal a ship and head back home."

Amber started to cry. "I just want to go home."

"I know," Miro said. "I'm sorry I brought you here."

"Do you think Tomas is still alive?"

"Yes," said Miro with a certainty he didn't feel. "I'm sure he is."

The soldiers came forward. Their time was up.
