Jocelyn was alone-until Alaric found her in Hollowfen and knew: she wasn't just a mystery. She was the reason his heart still beat.
What kind of man does Alaric want to be?
"Jocelyn now stood just ahead of me, still holding my sword. She wasn't looking at me, but I couldn't take my eyes off her. There was something in the way she held herself-chin lifted-as if defying what Hollowfen whispered. She disobeyed the rot, the silence, and made it bow to her. She was magic. She made my thoughts pool."
