This book is told in the POV’s of Sybella and Genevieve. He slips his arm around my waist and pulls me close-the only man in the kingdom who could survive taking such a liberty with his throat intact. His physical presence has all the sublety of a small mountain, and as he draws closer, the tattered remains of the lingering souls retreat. I twist the stiletto, shoving it in deeper. For one crystalline moment, we are pressed together in an embrace, his sword flailing uselessly behind me. The move brings me up against his chest, my blade sinking deeply into the hollow of his throat. Ducking in low, I launch my entire body at him, aiming for his gullet. In the time it takes for his sword to arc toward me, I retrieve the stiletto from my left sleeve. Either it has not registered that I have just mortally wounded his two friends or he is stupid, so certain he has a killing blow that he moves slowly, like an executioner at a beheading.
