Chapter 605
The Executioners led them down corridors, to a sitting room populated with vampire guards in gray uniforms. They all stood quickly, but Jamie motioned them back into their seats.
"You have a full complement," Jorick said dryly.
"Two each," Ark said. "Except for Verchiel."
The redhead shrugged. "No offense to anyone, but I travel better alone. I can do my own paperwork."
The nearest guard looked irritated. "With respect, sir, we do more than that."
"Of course you do," Jamie said. "Most of these guards are dream stealers or whisperers. They handle interrogations and amend memories, the same as we do."
A sound came from the doorway. Katelina turned toward it. A vampire stood uncertainly at the threshold. A long black coat looked new. Dark hair framed Middle Eastern features. Eyes like mahogany snapped from one figure to another. The Executioner medallion glinted around his neck.
