Chapter 17

The unexpected visitor.

There's more shifters in Rivenna than in any other town in the Eastern World. Humans are the minority and any crime committed by non-human residents is dealt with by an external party who's appointed by the duke every five years. At the moment, that person is Governor Pollock.

And since he took office last year, he's caused more harm than good to the community. There've been rumours Jorgen isn't happy with many of Pollock's interventions and he's been trying to remove him. The governor is a hard man, and he does what he pleases with anyone who doesn't follow his rules. I've heard he uses old school methods of punishment and I suspect he would try to transport me out of Rivenna if he finds out I'm one of the contestants.
