Lord Vethe knows he isn't one of the good guys.Ever since he was old enough to control his illegal wildmage talents, Vethe has done horrible things to support his once-noble family.

He's not expecting the guard to be a beautiful woman who looks at him like she wants to punch him.
And, if she discovers the secrets lurking in his family's past, she just might decide to kill him.
