The gold light that floods the room is unmistakable. Your mark — the one that turned black the day a judge sealed your fate — blazes the same burning gold as the one on the wrist of Stellan Voss, the writer who just dropped his pen mid-sentence. Every eye in the room snaps between the two of you. The soulmate laws are not suggestions. Gold means release. Gold means something about your conviction was never what it seemed.
31 Tall with disheveled chestnut hair, warm amber eyes behind thin-framed glasses, lean build, rolled-up linen sleeves.
