Murder, mayhem and magic
Locked in a coffin-like darkness, there is nothing to distract me from my memories of killing Reyad. He deserved to die-but according to the law, so do I. Here in Ixia, the punishment for murder is death. And now I wait for the hangman’s noose.
But the same law that condemns me may also save me. Ixia’s food taster-chosen to ensure that the Commander’s food is not poisoned-has died. And by law, the next prisoner who is scheduled to be executed-me-must be offered the position.
