Because as long as you lack it, he owns you." She drew a trembling breath. "He knows the secret you're hiding. That you cannot practice openly. That your dream is to escape-to use your power to strip away the marks, the signs, and disappear into another life. To live freely, without fear of your people hunting you down."

"You'll regret this. I swear it by the gods." She wiped the tears with the back of her hand. "What do you mean?" she finally asked. "Your freedom... for my life." THE NIGHT OF THE LUNAR ECLIPSE The bluish-red moon glowed neon on the horizon. That was the beauty of a lunar eclipse. Hypnotic, celestial... lethal.
Great Lord Zaiper halted his mount at the top of the hill and watched the mysterious sky intently as the moon cast its sinister light over the towering gates of Ravenshadow.

"Ready?" he shouted.
An ear-splitting chorus of hooves stopped behind him. Zaiper turned, scanning the assembled battalion in the clearing. A smile curled on his lips.
