He was accustomed to such reactions, of course. Mouse allowed the corner of his mouth to lift a fraction. THE MAN who had taken the chair across from Mouse stared back with skepticism and no small measure of wide-eyed surprise. But Mouse is unprepared for the dangers behind the plot to make Lord Garron disappear. Falling for a nobleman can lead to disaster. Falling for a client can lead to mistakes.
Making matters worse, Mouse is distracted by Garron’s charm and unyielding integrity. Now, they must escape an army of guardsmen, a walled keep and a city on lockdown, and a ruthless mage using her power to track them. Getting Garron out of his tower prison is the easy part. But he cannot turn his back on that much coin-enough to buy a king’s pardon for the murder charge hanging over his head. He’s no altruistic hero, and something about the job reeks.
The job? Free Lord Garron, the son of a powerful duke arrested on trumped up charges in a rival duchy. When a stranger with a hefty bag of gold seduces him to take on a task, Mouse knows he’ll regret it. Sure, his methods may not make him many friends, but he works best alone anyway. Scoundrel by nature and master thief by trade, Mouse is the best there is.
