Never had she wanted to escape her home more than on this night. Even hanging out with those sterile Archons would be better than being subjected to knowing Saint was feeding and making love to some human female in her own house. Looking up, she watched a falling star streak across the sky. Whispering into the darkness, she wished on it. “Let me be strong enough to endure this.”

There were only two Archons for all of France—one for Paris and one located in Avignon for the rest of the country. As was the case in other countries where there were so few Archons, both French Archons’ offices were a bureaucratic mess, inundated with far too many cases for just two officials to handle. What made the judicial system in the vampire world almost ineffective worked to Solenne’s advantage. Eager for any help, the Avignon Archon willingly took her up on her offer of assistance without a thorough background check that may have revealed her true identity. A well-crafted lie about her sire and she was in, able to spy on the very vampires she sought to bring down.

She’d chosen this particular Archon not only because of the ease of worming her way into his circle but also because he was one of the most influential Archons. Far more interested in power than meting out justice for the many petty offenses his office was forced to handle, Marc Verrater made certain he knew the most important goings-on in their world. And he had a penchant for bragging, a reflection of his own self-importance and a habit that had been helpful to Solenne in her job as spy so far.

In minutes, she’d travelled the distance between her home in Valence and the Archon’s office in Avignon and was ready to do as she did each time she was forced to spend time with Verrater.

Grin and bear it, knowing she may some night hear something the Sons could use.

Compared to the beautiful old city of Avignon, with its stone fountains and medieval fortress walls, the Archon’s offices were nothing less than spartan. Bright white walls and white tiled floors made the place seem more like a hospital than the vampire version of a regional courthouse.

Solenne reported in with his assistant, a plain female named Rochelle who Solenne was sure was the most boring vampire she’d ever met. A pretentious know-it-all, she droned on continually about subjects no one cared about and routinely made mention of how Avignon was famous for being the place of a second home for the Pope in addition to Rome in the Middle Ages. Her act as the local tourist board was boring the first time. Succeeding times made those who came in contact with Rochelle almost universally grow to despise her.

“Good evening, Rochelle,” Solenne said, hoping the officious woman didn’t take the pleasantry as an invitation to a conversation.

“Lena, how are you tonight? I hear we’re in for exceptionally cool weather this week. Terribly odd considering our location.
