She spotted him in his usual position by the eastern gate. This time, instead of being startled when she came near, he simply straightened up, gave a sigh, and showed the quiet attitude of a man who had come to terms with the idea that his secret was no longer completely his own.You never d

The Luna They Burned Rhys Corners Selene
He deliberately selected the training yard since it was empty at that time, with no witnesses present and so that neither of them would have an easy excuse to leave before the conversation got to where it was heading."I have something to ask you," Rhys said when she saw him waiting there, having arranged by means of a servant that he wanted to have a talk about the delegation's security arrangements, a reason neither of them ever seriously believed once she had looked at his face. "And I need you to answer me properly this time. Not another word of evasion.""Alright."Why are you looking at me as if you know me? The words came out rougher than intended because after weeks of having half-formed suspicions they had finally managed to become direct. It's not curiosity on my part nor is it a polite interest since I'm a member of the pack you're visiting; sometimes you look at me as if I were someone you are grieving over. I have noticed this more than once now and I'm finished pretendin
The Luna They Burned Watching her Differently
Kaelan was the first to notice the change in himself. Nevertheless, he thought that on certain days Cassius saw much more than he admitted.Each room she walked into seemed altered. It wasn't louder, nor indeed brighter, but instead became reoriented, just as a compass needle does the moment it is released from whatever had been keeping it steady in the wrong direction. He found himself, without intending to, following her movements across the negotiating table, noting little things which weren't really within his place to observe, such as the way she pushed a strand of hair behind when she was concentrating, and the particular quiet she would adopt just before saying something she had carefully arranged.He had said that he would wait. He really meant it, and each day the significance of that meant more to him.One evening he found himself standing outside her door for the same reason as he had during that first week, before this situation had a name given to it. He
The Luna They Burned The Third Witness
Selka was more difficult to find than either Corin or Petrus had been since she had moved two years earlier to a remote outpost on the southern edge of the pack, it being so far removed from the main area that it took an overnight journey which Selene had to carefully justify to the household as a diplomatic courtesy visit at the outlying trade posts.The outpost was small and quiet, consisting of a few cottages grouped round a modest trading post. Selka was working behind the counter of the post, older than Selene had anticipated and showing a kind of tiredness that was more than just due to her age."Emissary," Selka's greeting showed the carelessness typical of someone who is unused to having visitors of any diplomatic importance. "What has brought you all this way?"If you have a moment, I'd like to ask you a few questions regarding something that took place some years ago.Selka's expression changed, her wariness taking over so quickly that Selene realised, before she had spoken
The Luna They Burned What the name means
It was two days later before Selene found out about Rosalind, even though Cassius had still been careful about the amount of information he gave out. She had come across an old household record while assisting with the sorting of the trade correspondence relating to the current negotiations, and this had by accident placed her in the same storage room where all the family papers from decades earlier were kept.The name came to Selene from a talk she had with Ivy a number of weeks before, during which the two of them discussed who in the house might have both the education and the means to have written the notes which had forced Corin and Petrus to give false testimony. Rosalind Voss had died twelve years previously and so could not have produced the notes three years ago. Yet the fact that her name had now come up in relation to something that Cassius had clearly been looking into with great intensity carried significance, and Selene planned to discover what that significance w
The Luna They Burned The arrangement, traced
After three weeks of no communication Cassius's contact on the coast replied with a brief letter which took him half a day to decode properly because the man had used a cipher that he had himself invented rather than one of the standard types.Nessa has a clear memory of Aldric. He is now married and has three children; he is settled and is not eager to talk about the past. All she will say is that Aldric left Ashcombe since he had been paid to do so, and later received payment as well to keep quiet about what he had been instructed to remove. She won't give the sum or the source of the money, and she asked that I should never write to her again.It wasn't very much; when Cassius read the letter a second time in the dim light of the vault's candle, he thought that he had considerably more than a month before.Next to the old letters concerning the arrangement, which were the exchanges between Kaelan's grandfather and an Elder from a territory that Ashcombe no longer traded with, he pl
The Luna They Burned A letter from Moira
This time the letter came without any prompting and was included in a shipment of dried herbs which Selene had not asked for, just as Moira had done once before; yet the message contained in it, after having been decoded, had a urgency much greater than any of those that Selene had received up to then.A small wolf, I have noticed a change in the currents surrounding you over the past few weeks, with attention drawing towards areas which I hadn't exactly expected when I sent you to that border. I can't give you any new information regarding the conspiracy you're pursuing. All I can do instead is warn you, and I want you to take this warning seriously rather than treating it as just another example of my usual evasiveness. Give up on this mission and go back into the shadows where you have been safe for these three years. The thing you are circling in that house has qualities I did not fully take into account when I set you on this course. For the first time since I pulled you f
