eyes. Why today?
Dorian lifted his head, wiping his mouth on
the shoulder of his jacket. “Those collars ...”
He ran a hand over his neck. “I didn’t think it

“Would I have been able to get out, if you
hadn’t found me?” He didn’t ask how she’d

“The collars can do nothing without being
attached to a host. But that room is a place of
hatred and pain, the memory of it etched into
the stones.” She examined her long nails. “It
snared you. You let yourself be snared.”
Hadn’t Kaltain said nearly the same thing
regarding the collars? “It took me by
surprise.”
