Weeks of waiting at a military base come to an end with the arrival of a "chaperone" from their superiors. The strange and unsettling Ignatius Lazarus brings vital intelligence about their target's location, but his mysterious demeanor leaves Tommy and Naomi wondering if their new ally can truly be trusted.

The world has abandoned magic, but magic hasn’t abandoned the world.
