“Neil,” she asked, lowly. “What do you know about the Ravens?”

Neil grit his teeth, looking down at his spindly fingers. “They’re a special division of Evermore, designed to extract information and efficiently punish any offenders that they deem as deviants. They have come from Moriyama leagues, most likely in response to civil unrest here in Palmetto. I know two men who have disappeared into Evermore headquarters, who haven’t come out the other end. I don’t know much else, other than that we need to be careful.”

That was a lie, but it was a lie Neil had to maintain. Kevin Day had been young and spritely in youth organisations with his adopted brother, Riko Moriyama, ever since Neil could remember. His father had once pinched his nose and cursed Neil for his Jewish heritage: if he’d just married a Christian woman, Neil would’ve been allowed to play with Kevin and Riko and become the little nationalist his father had always wanted.

He and Kevin had met once. A brief, twenty minute exposé that’d lead to his discovering Neil’s father was a man with a cruel sleight of hand, and his son was somehow Jewish but still alive and well. As well as anyone under Wesninski’s roof could be, anyway.

“Wymack and I figured out who the Ravens are.” Dan said, snapping him out of his reverie.

His stomach knotted unto itself. Shit.

“Riko Moriyama, their leader. Son of Kengo himself. Just as much of an asshole. His adoptive brothers, Kevin Day, whose mother was killed, and Jean Moreau, whose mother sold him. Thea Muldani, who is not to be underestimated: She was trained for assassination in the north and may be the most skilled out of the five of them.”

“Five,” Renee hedged. “Who’s the last one?”

Wymack cut over Dan, looking directly at Nicky. “He has returned from Easthaven after 5 years, when he was told that rebel forces killed his cousin and brother. I would consider him as the most volatile of them all, and most certainly the one with the most powerful motivations.”

“No,” Nicky whispered, horrified. “You’re not saying—”

“Yes.” Dan said, gravely. “Andrew Minyard has abdicated from his connections to his family, and the revolution. He’s a part of the Raven division, and he’s hellbent on killing every one of us.”
