    Summary

    "Unfortunately, our progress has stalled out somewhat," Ikithon says, slowly circling the beacon on its stand. Under any other circumstances, that would be the thing that drew Essek's eye.

    Instead, his gaze is fixed on the man sitting in a chair at the circle's center. A picture of misery, he is bound hand and foot to the chair with thick iron cuffs. His face is mottled with bruising, his rust colored hair hangs in limp, tangled clumps, and his clothes are torn and burnt. Wide, frightened eyes the color of daylight sky whip frantically back and forth between them.

    Essek knows that face. He knows it all too well. Not two months ago, that face kissed him on the forehead and told him that he was still capable of good.

    The bottom drops out of Essek's stomach. Please not him.

    --------

    After the peace talks at sea, Ikithon approaches Essek with an offer he can't refuse... But dearly wishes he could.

    Summary

    '"It’s not a bad job for a person who likes to think. Each day presents new challenges. Each client is a new puzzle to solve," said Caleb

    “Do you intend to solve me?”

    The man fixed him with a look of such sharp intelligence that Essek was skewered by it.

    “I’d like to.”

    Essek felt his cheeks darken and his breath catch. He had come into this with no expectations of anything beyond putting up with things until he could make his excuses and then never letting Verin talk him into anything ever again. Now though, he had to know. This man was a fascinating enigma, his own little puzzle.

    “Show me.”'
    ...
    Essek gets talked into a night out with Verin and his soldier friends. Little did he know they were going to a brothel.
