CHAPTER THIRTY-SEVEN

MAEVYTH

I arrived at the top of the stone staircase, to find Rykaia talking to a man dressed similarly to me, in all black leather. Down his left thigh hung a series of daggers holstered in leather straps. Dark brown, not quite black hair reached his shoulders, straggly strands framing each edge of intense burgundy-colored eyes. His expression held a contradictory mix of dark amusement. I presumed him to be Torryn, but Rykaia turned toward me and said, “Maevyth, this is Ravezio.”

While I gave a polite nod, he reached for my hand, lifting it to his face. I’d expected him to kiss the back of my hand, the way he held my knuckles close enough to his lips that I could feel his warm breath on my skin. Instead, he took in a long inhale and shuttered his eyes.
