BRIDIE POV "This one's different from anything Wynn's catalogued so far. The letter says the current doesn't show as light at all. It shows as sound."I read the report aloud to Cormac as our cart rolled toward a modest coastal village two days south of Ashgrove.The road wound along the salt cliffs, where the brine-heavy sea breeze whipped through the yellow gorse and ruffled the coarse wool of our travelling cloaks. Below us, the pale green surf churned steadily against dark grey sea-stacks, the rhythmic crash of water on stone an easy companion to the creak of our wooden axles.We found the family easily enough in a low-roofed stone cottage overlooking the boat slips—a fisherman and his wife whose daughter, a bright, curious girl of about eight named Elowen, had apparently taken to humming almost constantly since infancy. It had seemed an ordinary enough habit for a contented child, until the humming had begun, quite without her meaning it to, calming entire rooms of frightened or

CORMAC POV "The Continental Accord formally recognises the Weaving House as a permanent institution, equal in standing to the original reconciliation school, with full territorial protection extended to every family who seeks its help."Griogair Sinclair read the formal declaration aloud to the assembled council, his old scepticism worn down at last into something closer to genuine pride.His silver hair caught the bright midday glare spilling through the high clerestory windows, the heavy parchment bearing nine regional wax seals resting flat beneath his broad palms."Genuine progress," he added, looking over the rim of his spectacles toward our side of the dais, "for an institution I once assumed would remain a well-meaning footnote.""High praise, coming from you," Elira said, smiling from her seat beside Kian, her hands folded serenely over the armrests of her carved chair.The ceremony drew delegates from every territory the Order had touched, Kestrel's Reach and Fenmoor standin

BRIDIE POV"Then let us teach him. Not exile. Not containment. An actual chance, the same chance five other frightened children have already been given at the Weaving House."I said it into the hall's uneasy silence, stepping forward across the damp flagstones to stand directly beside Torvin.The braziers hissed against the draught, throwing long, trembling shadows of the council elders up against the damp timber walls. Torvin shrank closer to my hip, but he didn't pull away, his small chest hitching with shallow, hitching breaths as he stared at the floor."And if he burns something else while learning," the hostile council member pressed, leaning heavily over the scarred table, his knuckles white against the dark grain. "Who answers for that damage.""I will," Freya said, stepping out from the shadows of the doorway, her voice steadier now than I'd yet heard her. She held her chin high, the trembling gone from her hands, replaced by the stubborn, ferocious courage that only a mother

CORMAC POV "The council's moved the vote up. Tonight, not in three days. Word's spread that outsiders arrived defending him, and half the valley's decided that proves he's dangerous enough to need immediate removal."Ottilie delivered the news grimly, finding us at Freya's modest home as evening settled over the scorched valley.The wind from the bogs had picked up, howling through the cracks in the rough timber walls, carrying the bitter chill of early frost. Outside the small window, the yellow glow of dozens of hand-held torches wound like an angry, jagged serpent along the muddy path from the lower village toward the council hall. The air inside the cottage turned brittle as glass."That's not fair," Bridie said, rising instantly from the low stool, her voice tight with indignation. "We haven't defended anything yet. We've barely had a single day to actually understand what's happening.""Fair has very little currency left in this valley," Ottilie said, pulling her heavy mantle t

"Turn back. This territory has no use for Accord interference, however politely you dress up the offer."The guard at Kelmarsh's border spoke before we'd even fully dismounted, spear angled low but unmistakably ready.The mud along the causeway was grey, thick, and rancid with the reek of stagnant bog-iron and sour marsh-grass. A low mist clung to the stagnant water, wrapping the twisted birch roots like damp winding-sheets. The guard’s knuckles were scarred and red with cold, his boiled leather breastplate stiff from decades of eastern humidity, the point of his iron spear aimed with unwavering intent directly at my chest."We're not here to interfere," I said carefully, resting one gloved hand flat on my saddle horn, keeping my weight settled back so the beast wouldn't lurch. "We heard about a boy whose gift is causing real damage, and real fear. We've helped families in similar situations before.""You've never seen a situation like this one," the guard said. "Whatever gentle stori

CORMAC POV "Turn back. This territory has no use for Accord interference, however politely you dress up the offer."The guard at Kelmarsh's border spoke before we'd even fully dismounted, spear angled low but unmistakably ready.The mud along the eastern frontier was thick and grey, smelling of stagnant water, sour peat, and sulfur. Low, gnarled willow trees hung heavy with rot-damp moss, their twisted roots half-submerged in the brackish pools flanking the narrow causeway. The border crossing was little more than a barricade of sharpened stakes and blackened timber, manned by three men clad in boiled leather that had seen decades of harsh damp. The wind off the marshes bit deep through our cloaks, carrying a faint, acrid smell of burnt cedar that had nothing to do with domestic hearths."We're not here to interfere," I said carefully, keeping my hands resting visible on the pommel of my saddle as my mount shifted beneath me. "We heard about a boy whose gift is causing real damage, a
