CHAPTER ONE

Two things stood between me and a good night’s sleep, and I was allowed

to kill only one of them.

I tromped through Hirun River’s mossy banks, squinting for movement.

The grime, the late hours—I had expected those. Every apprentice in the

village dealt with them. I just hadn’t expected the frogs.

“Say your farewells, you pointless pests,” I called. The frogs had

developed a defensive strategy they put into action any time I came close.

up the kicking watch guard. Ah, but it was never the brave who escaped. I

brought him close to my face. “Your friends are chasing crickets, and

you’re here. Were they worth it?”

I dropped the limp frog into the bucket and sighed. Ten more to go,
