The stranger took four strides and stopped, facing Bereket. Taking a pouch from inside his shirt, he set it on the table. “Help me.” Never attached, never involved, friendly but never close to anyone, Bereket isn’t a man to make strong connections to any place or person. After three years in his latest job, he’s ready to pull up stakes and move on. But when he’s asked to help prevent a grave miscarriage of justice, well … maybe he can stick around a little longer. This job sounds tricky. And interesting. Also a little bit illegal. But legality has never mattered much to Bereket. Justice, on the other hand, always has. For this job, he’ll go far out of his way … if he can pull it off. A prequel novel to Rihasi
Author
Rachel Neumeier started writing fiction to relax when she was a graduate student and needed a hobby unrelated to her research. Prior to selling her first fantasy novel, she had published only a few articles in venues such as The American Journal of Botany. However, finding that her interests did not lie in research, Rachel left academia and began to let her hobbies take over her life instead. She now raises and shows dogs, gardens, cooks, and occasionally finds time to read. She works part-time for a tutoring program, though she tutors far more students in Math and Chemistry than in English Composition.
