The chancellor admits he feared the woman's marriage to Lord Duncan and vows to remove her—even if she is his flesh and blood—and is handed a Red Scorpion jade pendant that gives him command over Syrvane's assassins.

With cramped quarters and no pay, Ms. Baker now faces an urgent choice about how to survive.
