"We need to move," Rowan said. "Now, tonight, before whatever trail exists goes cold."

"Which direction did the car go?" Kael asked Donna.

"North. Toward the old mill road, I think, though I couldn't swear to it in the dark."

"Then that's where we start."

Kael was already moving toward where they'd left the horses, his exhaustion from three days of hard travel burned away entirely by something sharper, more urgent, a fear that had nothing left in it of doubt or hesitation. Whatever version of h

    "That's not the end of it," Kael said slowly, echoing my own unspoken fear. "A man like that doesn't simply disappear because he lost one fight."Renner's face carried a grim confirmation of exactly that fear. "There's something else," he said. "My scouts found this, left deliberately, in plain sight at the center of the abandoned chamber. Addressed to you, Kael. Not hidden. Not subtle. He wanted it found."He held out a sealed scroll, and Kael took it with hands that had gone tense all over again, breaking the wax with a grimness that told me he already expected whatever waited inside wouldn't be good.He read it in silence, his jaw tightening with every line, and when he finally looked up, something in his face had gone hollow in a way I hadn't seen since the night he'd first confessed everything to me in that farmhouse."Read it," I said. "Whatever it says, Kael, I need to hear it too."His voice, when it came, carried a weight that settled over the whole tent like something physic

    I read the line twice, until the words fully sank in. When they did, something inside me froze—a coldness that went far beyond anything the morning air could have explained.Your mother learned this lesson twenty years too late.“Kael.” My voice sounded thin. “This isn’t a threat about what lies ahead of us. It’s a confirmation. He’s telling me that my mother didn’t simply die, Kael. He’s telling me that she was murdered. For the same reason they’re trying to kill me now.”Kael took the parchment from my trembling hands. As he read it, his expression slowly changed, hardening into grim determination, while Rowan’s jaw tightened with anger.“We need Ada,” Kael said. “Immediately. If there’s even a grain of truth in what this executor told you, she’s the only one who might know.”We found her in the healers’ tent, where she was still caring for Lena. The moment she saw our faces, her hands froze above the small cradle, and an old vigilance settled over her posture.“What happened?” she

    "I believe it," he said. "Sera, I think some part of me is going to spend the rest of my life catching up to exactly who you've become. I don't say that as a complaint. I say it because I think it's the truest thing I've ever felt about you."I let myself lean into his hands, exhaustion finally cracking through the fierce composure I'd held together through the entire brutal night, and for a long moment neither of us said anything else, simply standing together in the battered courtyard, holding onto each other through everything that had happened while we were apart."Lena," he said finally, pulling back slightly. "Is she—""Sleeping," I said. "Ada's watching her. She's fine, Kael. Scared, but fine.""And Ada. Rowan told me she was wounded.""She'll heal. She held her position against two enforcers with a healer's blade and her own stubbornness, and she's earned the right to grumble about her recovery time for the next month at minimum."A tired, genuine laugh broke free from him des

    I made Ines take me to him immediately, my ribs be damned, and found the enforcer propped against the wall of a guarded storeroom, hands bound, a healer stationed nearby to keep him from slipping back into the same convenient unconsciousness that had already claimed two of his fellow attackers.His eyes found me the moment I stepped through the door, and something in his battered face shifted — not fear, not quite. Recognition, sharpened by something that looked almost like relief."You," he said, his voice thick with pain and blood loss both. "I wondered if you'd come see me yourself.""You know my name," I said, staying near the door, every instinct still wary despite his bound hands. "How."He let out a low, wet laugh that turned into a cough. "Everyone in the network knows your name, Sera Voss. You've been a name whispered in rooms you were never invited into since before you even knew you were carrying that child. Did you really think this started with Torvin? With Thorne?""Then

    Ada finished securing a fresh dressing over the darkening wound, her jaw tight with a concentration that told me the poison was worse than she'd let on a few minutes ago. "I need herbs I don't have here," she said. "Something to slow whatever this is until we can find out what it actually is. Sera, there's a healer three doors down, one of Renner's people, she may have what I need. Can you—""I'll go," I said, already rising, ignoring the protest my ribs made at the movement."Sera." Kael's grip tightened on my hand before I could fully pull away. "You should rest. You just—""I just fought off a trained enforcer with a rock and my bare hands," I said, and something in my own voice surprised me, some steel I hadn't known I still had reserves of after everything. "I think I can manage walking three doors down a hallway, Kael."He looked at me for a long moment, and something in his exhausted face shifted into an expression I hadn't seen from him before, not exactly — not pride, not qui

    Ada's words hung in the air — *someone poisoned the blade that wounded him* — and I felt the cold of it settle into my bones on top of everything else the last two days had already taken from me."Show me," I said, my voice steadier than I had any right to expect from myself.Ada peeled back the bandage along Kael's ribs, and there, faint but unmistakable in the lamplight, a thin black line traced outward from the wound's edge, delicate as a vein, wrong in a way that made my stomach turn."I don't recognize the compound," Ada said, her voice tight. "But I know enough to tell you it's slow-acting. That's the only mercy in it. We have hours, maybe longer, before it reaches anything vital.""Then we use every one of them," I said.I sat down on the edge of the cot, my own ribs screaming where the enforcer's shoulder had caught me in the woods, and I didn't let myself flinch. I'd learned, somewhere in the last two days, that flinching cost time I didn't have.Lena was asleep in the crib b
