Chapter V
I never saw her again. CHAPTER TEN A few days later I found myself nearing the end of the trail. It was twilight in Charin, hot and reeking with the gypsy glare of fires which burned, smoking, at the far end of the Street of the Six Shepherds. I crouched in the shadow of a wall, waiting. My skin itched from the dirty shirtcloak I hadn't changed in days.
