Chapter 9: North Hill

The invitation to the Coral Ball arrives already opened, and Emilie knows who opened it. Oronos Silvermane finally lets her into his house. He has a guest list of seven names, a warning about the full moon, and a gift that will let her read minds unnoticed, for a price someone else pays. On the eve of the party, the three recruits watch a quiet wharf from the rooftops, and a man they thought they understood goes down to the water to meet something waiting under it.
