When High Paladin Sorin discovers the brutally dismembered body of his cousin Alfrey, a much loved priest in the royal palace, he is left baffled as to who would do so terrible a thing to so good a man. But to find the answer to that question, he must cooperate with one of the highly despised necromancers, men who practice black magic, sleep in graveyards and feed upon souls … 

The necromancer Koray, however, is far from what he expected. He is beautiful, stubborn, and possessed of a tongue sharp enough to cut down even the High Paladin himself. Koray is also possessed of a strength like nothing Sorin has ever encountered, and the power of the Goddess herself.

Koray considered the question, then shook his head. "No. All I need is whatever is behind this wall. Why must we wait until morning?"


Sorin laughed. "I'll not wake up the whole of the castle to tear down a wall. It has waited this long, it can wait a few marks more." Huffing, Koray nevertheless conceded the point with a nod. "Come, necromancer. We'll fetch some wine from the kitchen and occupy ourselves another way until the master librarian seeks us out with vengeance in his eyes." Not giving Koray a chance to argue, Sorin grasped his shoulder and guided him out of the library.


Koray twisted free almost immediately, but went along without further protest. After successfully raiding the kitchen for wine and food, Sorin led the way to his room, quietly pleased when Koray did not comment, simply followed him inside and took up what had been his usual seat until he'd been given his own quarters. 


"So do you have any ideas about what might be behind the wall?" Sorin asked.
