Crow expects her task to be simple. Breaking a man out of prison isn’t difficult for someone with the power to read and control minds. It’s just another job forced upon her by her cruel master.
But things change when she meets an unusual inmate: a surly night elf with a thirst for revenge. Everyone knows night elves can’t be trusted. But in him, Crow sees a kindred spirit. A fellow prisoner. A fellow outcast in a world that hates them both. His many scars mirror her own. In him, she sees an opportunity to rebel against her master and win freedom for them both. But will he ever see her the same way?
All Vaara wants is to get home. The human who was his savior, Crow, has become his enslaver. She’s a liar, a manipulator, a criminal, and a user of dark magic. How can he trust someone who has shackled his very mind? And yet, he finds himself inexplicably drawn to her sly wit and her surprising gentleness.
