“I almost believed you, Suraira. Almost. But you forgot one thing.”
He moved a curl from my cheek. There it was again—the flash of curiosity.
“You gave me your name without asking anything in return.”

the slow burn is SO slow ill die.

“Wes, what does suraira mean?”
“Suraira is said to be a demon of mishap protecting Sirauk,” he said. “Some Nizahlans believe Suraira dwells beneath the bridge and emerges during a crossing to compel humans to their death. How did you hear the name?”

“Your fate lies in my hands. Not in that wastrel’s fumbling guard,” he said. His level gaze found mine. “Not in yours.”

“Sylvia of Mahair is protected from harm under amnesty laws,” he said.
Felix blinked. Ah, there was our familial resemblance—confused grimaces. “How?”
“She is Nizahl’s chosen Champion for the Alcalah.”

OHMY

Arin of Nizahl stood above me, watching me administer Jasadi death rites to a slain man.
