Chadstone turned to face Dakshana fully. She was smarter than he’d realized, more in tune with magic than he’d thought possible for a mere mortal, but the first time he’d laid eyes on her he’d known she was more than other mortals. He was unafraid to let her see truly him, for she would never learn how he could die - or be hurt.
“The rules are easy: the maze beyond is the gate. Make it to the central court - win.”
Dakshana lifted her chin. “What prize for us?”
She understood, then, what the prize was for him.
He said, “Freedom.”
