He’d been hanging out in Magiford for a few years, and no one really knew why—until now, that is. I feel both better and worse. If the Paragon knows Noctus is kicking up his heels in the area, there’s a small chance I’m safer than I thought. But why hasn’t the Paragon told the supernatural world that he exists?
