Hadrian always a soft heart stops to see what the ragged dressed woman, tripping through the brush, is calling to him and Royce, his partner of just about a year, for help.  There is an unknown man in her barn and she fears for her life.  Hadrian wants to go take care of the problem, Royce is ready to move on but lets Hadrian learn a lesson on people.I'm not going to say to much as it's such a short read and if I do I just might give it all way.  I want you to go read this quick read for yourself and enjoy it.First and foremost, YOU DO NOT HAVE TO READ THE SERIES TO READ THIS.  Actually, you could read this to get a taste of Hadrian and Royce.I loved getting to see these two characters again, Hadrian and Royce.  I love them, Hadrian and his big soft heart and Royce with his syndicalism of the two.  But the two together are fun.  There are jokes, the familiarity of the two carrying on together, and a great story as well.  I love the way Royce is and the mystery with him. Even knowing Royce after five books of the series I still love the mystery here. And do want to know more!The nice thing about this short story is mention of some of the future characters in the series.  You are introduced to some names and who they are, which will give you a little background for when you read the series.  And yes, I think once you read this short story you will want the series.  Michael has created amazing characters and a great world here that all should read.  I do hope you go check this out.Also included with this short story is the first chapter of Theft of Swords, to be released in November, then the next two books each month after.
