Someone who will protect not only him, but also his secrets – and he may have found the perfect man for the task. Being a soldier is Jeffery’s life. He won’t be defined by his past, but fights for the present, not some future he will never see.

His role places Jeffery in the presence of nobles whom he despises, and Prince Akoni is worse than most.
