Chapter One

Elicia was a slave, kidnapped from her home on the Serpent's Tail. Jevar was a thief, living in the slums of Cross and robbing highborn folk to survive. Two wholly different people, one a lady and the other an urchin, live their own lives, struggle through their own pain. It isn't until Jevar robs the wrong person and both their lives are changed entirely, that these two meet, trying to escape the death that awaits them in Cross.
