  Prologue

  Really he should have known climbing through windows would get him into trouble one of these days. Well. More trouble. Different trouble. Though, admittedly, he doubted he would have thought to expect said trouble to involve a beautiful, blue-haired girl covered in blood, standing over— oh, yup, that was Barell’s very much dead body. Even if blue was in favor this spring, such a lovely color and all.

  That may be down to a lack of foresight on his part, though, considering his line of work. Yeah he definitely should have seen this coming.

  “Well, shit.”
