Prince Danric of Garimore opened his eyes and immediately wished
he hadn’t.
Only one of them seemed to open properly, and the scene it revealed
crushed his hopes that his most immediate recollections had been a rather
long, painful, and frustrating nightmare.
A blank, stone ceiling. Bare stone walls. And bars, set in a solid oak
door that locked from the outside.
If only his father could see him now. But no, his father was dead. A
shapechanging mage sat on his father’s throne, his brother was missing, and
his mother feigned careless abstraction to save her own skin.
And yet, as crushing as those realities were, they paled beside the
weight of his greatest failure.
He’d lost her. Despite all his promises, despite all his efforts, he’d lost
the woman he’d sworn to protect. Evaraine. Enigma and friend. Princess of
Farhall and secretive mage, who concealed a deadly power capable of
taking down Garimore’s most lethal assassins.
But most importantly, his wife. She’d trusted him enough to marry him,
and he’d failed her when she needed him the most.
Despairing laughter shook him where he lay on a thin bed of straw,
questioning every shred of confidence he’d once possessed. He’d set out
from that inn, so filled with righteous determination. He would find her,
protect her, and convince her that their marriage did not have to be a cold,
loveless political arrangement. He would help her save her father, and then
he would find a way to save Garimore.
But after hour upon hour of searching for the trail she’d taken from
Riverwatch, he’d met with nothing but dead ends. No one had seen
Evaraine, or her horse. Night had fallen, the snow had covered her tracks,
and then…
His search must have provoked suspicions from someone along the way.
Somewhere in the darkness of early morning, he’d been surrounded by
uniformed city guards and dragged from his saddle by one of their blackfurred, golden-eyed wolves.
And then he’d been recognized, which was when everything had gone
from bad to worse. The guards had been oddly hostile, despite years of
cordial relations between Garimore and Eddris. When Danric had tried
explaining—attempting to convey the urgency of his errand—they’d
arrested him.
Naturally, he had objected, which was the point at which his memories
grew somewhat hazy. From the state of his left eye and the pain in his ribs,
it seemed likely they’d objected right back.
After that… Well, he had some extremely vague recollections of
traveling, slung over the back of a horse like a sack of dry goods.
Considering that he now found himself in a well-constructed dungeon, it
seemed almost certain that he’d been brought to Oakhaven—royal city of
Eddris, home of Queen Allera, and many long miles in the wrong direction.
