Nora Azol narrowed her eyes and smiled coldly, “I found you, murderer.”
“Is that so…?” Nokti circled the young woman, eyeing her up and down.

“Students?” Nokti furrowed her brow. Why did that sound familiar—?
“I was there, at Widow’s Creek!”
“So you were one of those kids,” Nokti muttered in confirmation.
