Jordan hadn't wished his stepmother, Eva, dead. A little something involving spiders would have served vengeance quite nicely. Still, he hadn't exactly grieved when they said she'd died in the fire. A protective big brother will only forgive so many sins against his sister.Even if Eva had been alive, though, what business would she have begging for his help now-a year later? And how insane was he to even consider offering help, much less seek out where her voice was coming from on such a miserable dark night?As heir presumptive to the barony and a soon-to-be knight in training, Jordan refuses to let fear stop him from seeking answers to impossible questions.But when the questions keep piling up, each darker and more dreadful than the last, only one thing becomes crystal clear: he'll never look at an oven the same way again.
