thieftaker if you ever decide to give up the ministry.
Wouldn’t you agree, Sheriff?”
“I suppose,” Greenleaf said. He still looked shaken
and unsure of himself. Ethan had never been the object
of a controlling spell—though he had come close in the

Mackintosh said. “You tried t’ warn me about him.”
“Did you warn him about us, too?” Adams asked.
