### Thirteen Hours to Die

"Don't even breathe, Voss. One twitch and I'll make sure you never walk again." Cold steel pressed into the skin behind my ear. I didn't move. I couldn't. Calder Rane had me pinned against a damp brick wall, his body a heavy, suffocating weight crushing the air out of my lungs. He smelled like ozone and expensive tobacco—High District shit. Not the kind of scent you find in the Lows, where I spend my life running packages. I looked down. Jax was at my feet. Or what was left of him. My best courier contact for three years was now a heap of shredded fabric and leaking blood. Between his dead fingers sat the black ring I was supposed to deliver. The ring that just turned my life into a crime scene. "I didn't do this," I spat. My voice cracked. "I just got here. He was already like this." Calder leaned in. His breath was hot against my neck, a sharp contrast to the freezing rain misting around us. He didn't believe me. Why would he? I was a street rat with a courier mark on my wrist and a corpse at my feet. "You're lying," he whispered. Not a guess. A verdict. "You've got that look, Lena. The one that says you're calculating how many seconds it takes to stab me in the ribs while I'm talking." "Maybe I am," I snapped. I tried to shift my weight. "Maybe I'm wondering why the city's most feared spell officer is playing dress-up in the slums on a Tuesday." He chuckled. It was a low, dangerous sound that vibrated through my spine. His hand slid from my shoulder to the back of my neck, squeezing just enough to force my head back. He made me look at him. His eyes weren't human—swirling storms of grey and silver. High-tier spell caster. "Wrong answer," he said. "Now, where's the ring?" "Right there!" I yelled, jerking my chin toward the body. "On the floor! Grab it and get off me!"
