You are late, the king murmured, and died without a scream. Simon thought he had freed a starving country. Instead he had cut the last thread holding it together, and the nobles he hated wore new masks over the ruins. When he wakes three days earlier with an arrow still aching in his chest, he walks back into the palace to be captured alive. The king he murdered is the only man he can save now.
