MATED TO MY BROTHER'S ENEMY

Tormund dug into his belt pouch and pulled out a mess of tiny metal lock picks, gleaming like dentist tools. “Just in case they went with the standard castle locks.”
Thomas didn’t even look up from his notes, which, of course, were written in that freakishly neat handwriting of his. “Nope. Spotters say silver restraints, all covered in glowing runes. This isn’t just a jail cell, this is soul-binding stuff.”
That landed heavy in the stale, cluttered armory air. If Kael was binding Marcus with magic, then, yeah, good luck breaking him out with a crowbar.
