Sienna took a deep breath.

Earth music? Jazz? Was that last one a freaking joke?

She shook her head. You just never knew with these Kordolians.

Her hand was still trembling. Her chest was all tight and clenched up, filled with both excitement and apprehension.

Ikriss’s so-called CV was strange. It wasn’t formatted correctly. There were no dates, and he’d kept everything short and simple with no embellishment. She suspected there was a lot more to his history than what he’d printed on paper. She didn’t understand it all, but it was obvious that he was highly accomplished and probably very far up in the Kordolian hierarchy.

He spoke nine languages?
