In no way did I believe that Taipanus was done with his killing spree.īut instead, it was just one of the remaining ladies-Lady Liesel of Ashfall-screaming in horror over the price of honey balls. Panic flooded through me, and I snapped my attention in the direction the sound had come from, fully prepared to find someone dropping dead from poison. “Or have you already forgotten who you really are?”īefore I could formulate a response, really, before I could even recover from the verbal slap she’d just delivered, a woman’s scream ripped through the sounds of the market. You know this.” She stepped closer, her angry scowl twisting her features. We look out for ourselves because no one else is going to. “So yeah, you’d better believe I sold you out.

Her mouth tightened, and her nostrils flared.
