ログインOn a whim, I try to roll him over, not expecting the iron cage of his arms to so much as shift. But he flips easily with a soft noise of surprise. I pull back, worried.“Apologies.” He smiles ruefully and taps the bandage on his face—on the side I rolled him to. “I think this will take some getting
“Oh.” I glance at Amval. Cirocco waits by his shoulder, clearly about to demand something similar. All the pressures of life suddenly descend back into place. With Kaloni dead, Amval has no rival for the crown. There’s going to be a coronation and then months of cleaning up what happened here. I’m g
Ingrid“The Goddess’ will is often far more complicated than any of us can guess,” Halit says, blood streaked on her cheek from the arrow she took to the shoulder before fleeing the altar.Laughter ripples through the temple. I know, from my second march up here, that the healthy hold up the wounded
And that is his mistake. The heartbeat he wastes on gloating gives me just enough time to slash at his unprotected throat, tearing through fur and old scar tissue.Blood waterfalls onto me, hot and fast. I wriggle out of the way before he crumples. Dead.Or at least it seems so. My halved vision mak

When I woke up, all I noticed was that the castle was quiet at first. I couldn’t find Corwyn anywhere. But slowly, I followed the trails of looks and staff to the front door. The decree was still pinned in place by what I instantly recognized as Mother’s letter opener, and my stomach dropped.She’d
“Not sure,” I reply, my gaze still on the match below.His teeth click sharply together. “Beta Elian? What about you?”Elian knows me too well to even look at me before snorting. “They don’t let me into those meetings. I just play with all the little tents. I once stacked them twelve high before the
Finn“Is that so?” Lady Marita, a visiting noblewoman from Snowcrest Canyon, leans forward over our private dining table, pressing her breasts forward in her gown.“It is.” I glance at her miles of pale cleavage then away. Somehow, all I can think is that she should really be careful—any more leanin
She is like nothing I’ve ever experienced. Distantly, I am aware I’ve had sex. After Anwen, half the women in the castle wouldn’t go anywhere near me, but the other half was more than happy to indulge a few awkward, teenage fumblings.
