“What is about to happen is a new king is going to be crowned at Drakenhof Castle,” Tomes said. “I wonder if you might have heard?”

Jazlo shrugged. “We are privy to some news of the castle, yes. I have heard some rumors.”

“But what you haven’t heard is what matters.”

“Tell me.”

“You faced and defeated a vampire some six years ago, did you not?” Tomes said.

Jazlo stared. He had trouble finding his voice. He flicked his eyes back and forth between both men. He felt his voice tighten. He swallowed. “You are referring to Marcus Ravenholt.”

“Yes.”

“I was not the only one responsible for his destruction.”

“That doesn’t matter,” Tomes said. “You were there. You have certain skills; skills that will come in handy in the days ahead.”
