Echoes in the Dark (68 page)

"Congratulations,"
Jikata said, since he seemed to have achieved something he'd wanted.

He gave her a smile much shier than the one he'd given the young
woman. "Merci." He inclined his head. "Merci, Exotique
Singer."

Jikata's escort
opened the door and they departed, and once again she was taken away from any
outside source of information.

Left only with questions: what exactly were Chevaliers, and
Marshalls, who was Koz and what Castle?

What invasion force? To
where?
