Chapter 7 – Birthday Eve
His mother's words still echoed in Jacob's head, three days after they had fallen. Grow up, Shaelith. Soon. Tomorrow was his eighteenth birthday, or rather, Shaelith's eighteenth birthday. The date was basically meaningless to the Shaeravyn, but eighteen years in this body, as Shaelith, was a strange milestone for him. It took some effort to push those thoughts aside to concentrate on more practical concerns. The birthday banquet tomorrow was largely a purely political event. Too his great relief…-

Chapter 6 – The Presentation
When they could see again, the purple fire fizzled out with a final, defiant hiss against Jacob's protective shield and the corridor smelled of the burnt mycelium of the smoldering walls. Amateur. Whoever wants me dead definitely paid too much for this lousy job. House retainer Haeliz, who had been a part of Shaelith's escort, lay in a spreading pool of blood. A crystal shard from one of the goblets the supposed servant carried had been caught in the blast and severed his carotid artery. A quick…-

Chapter 4 – Certified Sorceress
"Groff'fuffbar nark buffra." Vyriz's pronunciation was so bad that it could probably even pass for deliberate poetry among goblins. "Groff'fu-ffar," Jacob corrected automatically, leaning his head against Vyriz's shoulder. The embroidered cushions they lounged on were pleasantly cool against his bare calf, one of the few parts of his body his simple wrap-around dress didn't cover. "More saliva on the second F.

Chapter 1 – Drowning
For eighteen years, it was Jacob Williams' ironclad principle to stay out of trouble. That principle died with him on a rainy April afternoon beneath the surface of cold-ass Lake Whothefuckcares. But of course, Jacob Williams didn't know that when he got up that morning. Strictly speaking, he didn't have any thoughts in his head, which was still foggy from sleep, but only felt a general disgust at the early ringing of the alarm clock as he pulled on his gray T-shirt. The shirt was the product of careful…-
