Christine bounded into her room and sifted through her travel trunk. Her outfit should be practical, yet pleasing to the eye... to Thomas’s eye, especially. Deciding on a tan blouse and skirt, Christine changed. She brushed at her blouse, straightening it so it rested just so against her body—then stopped when she caught sight of her Cinder Band in the mirror’s reflection.

Examining the brilliant sheen of the amethyst sent her mind wandering to a conversation she’d had with her employer. She had done what he’d asked. All she needed to do was contact him. The Eternal Flame would reward her services with an induction into Torel’s Dawn, something she’d been surprised to discover she wanted very much.

Her smile became a sneer. What would you think of that, Father? She shook her head, scattering thoughts and sending her black hair tumbling over her shoulders.

But what would become of Aidan? She couldn’t imagine any parents executing their own child, but the possibility made her blood run cold. She cared for Aidan. She’d cared about him for years. Tyrnen had trained Aidan with his mother. Surely the prince’s mentor could be convinced that leniency should be shown for...

The amethyst within her Band pulsed with a low, plumcolored glow. Swallowing, Christine pressed a finger to it, and the old man’s voice entered her thoughts.

—Have you found him?

Christine remained silent in voice and thoughts for a long moment.

“Not yet.”

She adjusted her blouse and left the room.

A door opened down the hall, and Garrett Lorden peered out. Clutched in a white-knuckled grip was one of the Torelian marks the old man had given him. It pulsed with a low, crimson light. A voice entered his mind. He nodded once, smiled, and disappeared behind his door.
