Knight's Shadow (Greatcoats, #2)

by Sebastien de Castell

They’re dead. What is it that keeps you going now?” “There are a few left I haven’t gotten around to. Yet.” She smiled and walked over and kissed me on the cheek. “See? Now that’s something I can get behind.” She reached down and picked up my clothes and handed them to me. “You should get dressed. If we’re about to fight Shuran and his men you won’t want to do it half-naked.” “Why would we have to fight Shuran?” I asked. “Has he—?” “He hasn’t done anything, yet. I just don’t trust him.” “Is there anyone you do trust?” “Not really. But your real problem is that the Saint of Swords doesn’t trust him either. Looks like Shuran is preparing to leave ahead of us, and Kest thinks that means Isault is going to betray Aline. I suspect he’s going to do something reckless.”
