I laughed. It was just like Owen to make excuses for someone else’s shortcomings. Even fictional characters. Owen found my tendency to speak my mind “refreshingly honest, ” and hailed Marc’s temper as “a deep protective instinct.” He said Ethan “thoroughly enjoyed life, ” and that Parker “really knew how to have a good time.” According to Owen, we were all doing just fine, and all was right with the world. .Rachel Vincent

My lover is dead. And they think I killed him. I'm running rogue. Hell bent on both revenge and redemption. Whatever it takes, I'm going to finish a job that began nine months ago. An unauthorized assignment that turned horribly, devastatingly wrong. My miscalculation. My fault. My heart left shattered into incomplete pieces which will never wholly fit back together again.
