Chapter 79: First Lessons at Kamar-Taj

Mordo had been giving Jay the tour of Kamar-Taj for the better part of an hour, his posture rigid and his explanations clipped with slight skepticism. Even Jay could feel the tension radiating from the master sorcerer like heat from a forge.

Chapter 75: First Kill

Jay stepped out of the shower, steam curling around the marble bathroom of his hotel suite. The hot water had done little to wash away the adrenaline from last night's club-hopping. Who knew the reserved Jay had such moves on the dance floor? The ...
