A Crucible Of Souls (Book One Of The Sorcery Ascendant Sequence) - Plot & Excerpts
Soon the rising sun would burn off what haze remained, but while it was around, Vasile used it to cover his movements as much as he could. As far as he could tell, one or more of his enquiries into the dealings of the Five Oceans Mercantile Concern had tipped someone off. And that someone was not pleased. While visiting the magistrates’ court to see some friends and call in a few favors, he’d been told by Japir, an informant of his, of people asking after him. He knew of no one who would want to see him that didn’t already know how to contact him, and he hadn’t had much contact with women since his wife… for a number of years. Yesterday, Vasile had waited for Japir in the usual spot by a fountain in the Deadhorse District, to no avail. When he’d failed to appear, Vasile went to visit Japir’s home with all possible haste. The door swung open at his touch, but only echoes answered his queries. Japir lay on the bed, throat slashed to the bone. Vasile covered his body with blood-soaked sheets before one last glance around the room, then scurried out the door in a rush.
