Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love Secrets in the Ashes
I reached the end of the letter. Then I read the last few lines again. Not because I hadn't understood them. Because I had. That was the problem. The parchment trembled between my fingers. Garret's handwriting blurred until I couldn't see it anymore.I blinked.Once.Twice.It didn't help."Nera?" Carlin's voice sounded far away.I stared at the letter. Twenty years. He'd known for twenty years. Everyone close to me had known something so important about my identity except for me."Nera." Carlin shifted closer. "What did he say?"I opened my mouth. Nothing came out.
Finding The Cure: An Order Of Love The Opened Truth
My dear Nera,Happy twentieth birthday.I have started this letter more times than I care to admit. There are battles I have walked into with less hesitation than it has taken me to put these words to paper. You would probably find that amusing.I do not.There are things about your life you do not know. Things you were never supposed to have to know. We told ourselves keeping them from you would protect you. For a long time, I believed we were right.I no longer do.Before anything else, I need you to listen to me.Be careful who you trust.The Seekers are not what they were when I founded them. We have grown too large. There

I hefted the cold, rough-hewn handle of the axe."Nera." Someone called. I ignored themI swung, the blade whistling through the humid, pine-scented air. Crack. Impact vibrated through my palms."Nera."Again my name continued to ignore it as sweat stung my eyes."Nera.""What?" I spun.Carlin stood several yards away, and just like that, everything I'd managed to bury beneath aching muscles came rushing back. He looked terrible; mud covered his trousers, blood stained one sleeve, and his hair was a mess. Moreover, there were shadows beneath his eyes that hadn't been there the last time I saw him.

I didn't know what to do with myself, which was the worst part. There should have been something—someone to fight or someone to chase—some outlet I could stab until the anger stopped burning beneath my skin. Instead, there was only Garret, who was dead, along with so many bodies.I stood near the edge of the ruined camp, watching two Seekers carry another covered body toward the growing line. I didn't know who was beneath the blanket, though someone surely did, and someone would eventually. As I stood there, my fingers tightened around the crumpled note in my hand.I will keep killing everyone you care about.I shoved it into my pocket. I couldn't look at it anymore."Nera?" Zin stood a few steps behind me. I hadn't heard her approach.

The smell reached us before the camp did, a mix of smoke and blood with something worse beneath both. I pulled my cloak over my nose, but it did nothing; the smell seemed to settle against the back of my throat instead. Perhaps that was why none of us had spoken for the last half mile. Even Zin.The trees thinned ahead, reminding me of riding through them the last time we'd been here. Back then, Bella had gone rigid, and Carlin had told me to stay behind him. The smoke had been wrong then too, thick and heavy, while Garret shouted orders as people ran around us before finally telling us to leave.Go.I tightened my hands around the reins as the western camp—or what remained of it—appeared between the trees."Oh, gods," Ev whispered.

“The Western Camp.” I stared at Zin.Of all the things I expected her to say, that wasn’t one of them.“You want to go there?”“I thought that was obvious.”“It wasn’t.”Zin glanced toward the camp gates. “Then I’m losing my touch.”I folded my arms. “Carlin just left with a recovery group.”“I noticed.”“He told me they’re searching.”“I heard.”“And you want us t

The tea room glowed with firelight and polite chatter, silver spoons clinking gently against porcelain cups. Yet despite the warmth, my father’s cold anger clung to me like frost, coiling tighter the longer I lingered at his side. Something gnawed at him beneath that regal composure, and I

“Come on, Nera! Wake up! We have very important company today!” The shrill voice of my lady's maid Hana cut through my dreams like a knife. I groaned, curling deeper into the tangle of sheets, I didn’t want to get up. I was having such a nice dream of the forest. Another knock on my door had me fi

That was a clear threat. My stomach knotted so tightly I thought I might be sick. The murderous glint in Remier’s eyes almost pinned me in place. Move. I had to move. By the grace of the goddess, my legs obeyed, carrying me down the corridor toward my father’s study.Knock. Knock. Knock“Come in.”

“Come on, Belladonna. If I have to be awake, so do you.” I shoved gently at the great furry mass hogging my blankets. Bella cracked open one amber eye, huffed a hot breath that smelled faintly of venison scraps, and sprawled wider across the bed. Her thick coat was warm under my hand,
