What begins as suspicion becomes reluctant cooperation. Cooperation becomes trust. And trust becomes the one weakness Yoren never intended to possess. Someone inside the palace is preparing a rebellion. Someone is watching them. And for the first time, winning may require Yoren to risk the person he has begun to love.
