With my hand around his neck, I feel alive for the first time in months.

My adopted brother, once not much more than a stranger, became my closest friend during one of the most difficult times of his life.

Despite my best efforts, I cannot understand why the Crow King’s boorish general has decided to guard me, a woman he can barely stand to look at. I may lack education and be physically unpleasing, but do I deserve such scorn?

I have exactly 5 hours and 10 minutes to get from Boston to New York City or the professional opportunity of a lifetime disappears. My only travel option? The second to last seat on a discount bus.
