Naithea’s blood boiled in her veins as she walked through the streets of Bellmare with her head held high.

Years ago, she’d have resented the way women gazed at her or the whispers that reached her ears with horrible words denigrating her for the way she made her living. But that morning, Naithea ignored them all, because her mission was more important than any other.

Suddenly, something tugged at her trousers. Looking down, she found the young boy from whom she’d bought the tonic for Tanea. His eyes urged her to follow the spot he was slyly pointing at with one of his thin, bony fingers.

There, hidden in the shadows of an alleyway, was the wizard. Dyron Selmi fixed his one good eye on her before walking on with the aid of his cane.

Naithea placed a copper vramnia in the boy’s hand and headed toward the harbor. She moved past the exotic fish and squid the fishermen cut with sharp knives and ignored their leering glances, too focused on the shadow of the old man.

After checking in every direction to ensure no one had noticed where she was headed, she trailed Dyron into a dark alley. She frowned in confusion upon finding it empty and turned around to look for him, but a wrinkled hand grabbed her forearm and pulled her back.

Naithea stifled the scream that rose in her throat as she stepped through the stone wall, leaving behind all hints of the alley until she found herself in the familiar shop.

She sighed, raising a hand to her chest, where her heart was beating erratically. “Dyron.”

“What you intend to do is dangerous, Soul Devourer. A tiger would never walk in the enemy’s lair.”

“That’s precisely why I’m doing it,” she replied, shivering slightly at the title. “Magic is more dangerous than ever.”

“You’re wrong. Magic is always in control. From the birth of the goddesses and the creation of the twin gemstones, the universe made sure that order and chaos were guarded,” Dyron coughed. “That light and darkness were protected.”

“I’m not an enthusiast about riddles.”

Dyron Selmi limped through the store, and Naithea followed him closely behind. She held her breath upon noticing the glass under which a thick, yellowed book was sheltered—a poem written in ink as dark as night.
