“The Guardian had left his lair and was coming in her direction.
Did Jerrod see through my disguise?
She’d been switching back and forth between the forms of Hadawas and Berlen for weeks; ever since she’d given up hope of getting the Crown. Surrounded by the gullible Easterners, she’d become sloppy and careless. Instead of taxing her waning strength with a true spell of transformation, she’d started hiding her identity with a simple illusion—one the monk’s Sight had almost seen through when he she had first greeted him as Berlen.
During the trek over the mountains she’d been more careful, but she knew Jerrod had sensed something unusual about Hadawas. He was suspicious of her, constantly on guard and watching for betrayal.
