Then one day, I stepped into an alley and found a feral woman with a knife and a debt she wanted to pay with her body. I refused. She vanished. I told myself I wasn’t thinking about her, about looking for her—so I decided to go and check the road the way any adventurer, err, barkeep would. But when a creature started hunting near the mountain pass, I found her again—Ryn, wild and suspicious, hunting...
