   Summary

   Sir Wilson agrees to assassinate a local noble turned wannabe tyrant, and finds himself rewarded with the captured mage whose magic had been fueling the tyrant's rise. But imprisonment was not kind to Mage Grayson, and it will take more than a good meal to pull him back from the brink.
