The Decoy

The Decoy, a short story set in Athera from the Wars of Light and Shadows series:

Falion sen Ardhai, town born to a glass artisan and a clanbred woman, maintains his uneasy, dual heritage as a free wilds courier when a message of sensitive urgency sends him to Avenor, and a test of courage beyond his imagining.
