The rest of the night passed restlessly. Although I lay in the same massive bed as Zade, the distance between us felt like miles. He lay motionless on his back, while I huddled on the edge, clutching the silk sheets. His touch from the ballroom still burned my skin, but by morning, the prince had turned back into a statue of ice.

Early in the morning, Zade was summoned to the royal council.

"Stay in the room," he commanded as he buckled on his sword. "The court is a hornet's nest this morn

    EiraThe icy breath of dawn slowly crept beneath the tent flaps, chilling the air, but the mere presence of the man standing beside me drove away every trace of cold.Zade silently helped me fasten the straps of my black leather armor. His fingers moved with practiced speed, yet every time I brushed against his skin, I felt the restrained, scorching tension pulsing inside him.Today, we weren't fighting on some deserted field of snow.Today, we were marching into the heart of the empire, into Blackwood, to tear away the last chains King Toric had placed upon his people and upon us.When the final buckle clicked into place, Zade didn't step back.He rested his hands on my hips and pressed his forehead against mine. The dark gold of dragonfire burned in his eyes."Are you ready?" he asked hoarsely.His voice was barely more than a whisper, yet it thundered through my chest like war drums."With you, always," I answered, placing my palm against his a

    EiraThe snow melted slowly but relentlessly into a sea of mud beneath our boots and the horses' hooves.As we left behind the frozen world of the Black Glaciers, carved from obsidian, the pine forests and rocky hills of the empire's central territories gradually took on warmer autumn colors. But the road we traveled was anything but peaceful. Fifteen thousand people marched behind us. The clatter of weapons, the neighing of packhorses, and the heavy, rhythmic pounding of footsteps shook the earth as though a continuous, slow earthquake were accompanying us south.Our army was a living, breathing paradox.On the right side of the marching column walked the veterans of the Southern Legion, their black and gold armor still bearing scratches from the northern battle. On the left marched the eastern rebels, the miners, and the warriors of the mountain clans, dressed in ragged cloaks but filled with a terrifying, raw determination.A week ago, they would have slaughte

    EiraBy the third day of our march, the frozen black cliffs of the Valley of Sighs were slowly disappearing behind us.The landscape gradually softened. The barren fields of ice and merciless northern winds gave way to vast forests of ancient pine trees covered in snow.The army of ten thousand, winding like a serpent along the mountain roads, presented a sight unlike anything the empire had ever witnessed.The soldiers of the Southern Legion, who had once marched in the king's black and gold armor, now walked beside the freed prisoners of the eastern mines and the savage, fur clad warriors of the mountain clans.Distrust still lingered among the ranks.I saw the suspicious glances exchanged around the campfires and heard the hushed arguments, but discipline held.No one dared draw a weapon against another.Not only because of General Vane's strict orders and the authority of Rurik, the clan leader, but also because of the two gigantic shadows moving

    Eira In the thick, sulfurous steam of the volcanic chamber, morning arrived not with light, but with a subtle change in temperature. I lay beneath the heavy fur blankets, every inch of my body weighed down by the exhausting physical and magical trials of the previous days. Yet a deep, unfamiliar peace spread through my bones, a tranquility I had never known before. The runes of the Ancient Focus on my skin, the emerald green and midnight black vines stretching from my collarbone all the way down to my left thigh, no longer burned. They pulsed softly in a quiet rhythm matching my heartbeat, blending with the breathing of the man lying behind me. Zade's chest was pressed against my back. His arm encircled my waist with the strength of an iron grip, yet with infinite care, his hand resting directly on my stomach. I could feel the scorching dragonfire radiating from his skin, a warmth that could have protected me even

    Zade Our kiss tasted of ash, blood, and a scorched sky. When I slowly, reluctantly pulled away from Eira's lips, the world around us was still frozen in the surreal, silent paralysis left behind by the destruction of the Twin Flame. At the entrance to the gorge, molten obsidian hissed and glowed red in the freezing wind, sending columns of black steam toward the gray sky. Where my father, the dreaded King Toric, and his enormous red dragon, Balerion, had stood only minutes earlier, there was nothing left. Just a gaping, glass-scorched crater where the shattered ice barricade had once been. And twenty paces away, another smoking depression that had swallowed Caspian. It was over. Decades of poison, murderous intrigues woven through the palace's dark corridors, the lashes of whips, and the commands enforced through blood magic had all burned to nothing in a single blinding storm of green and black fire. The woman in my arms suddenly trembled. I immediately looked down at her. Eira's

    EiraThe rocky ledge didn't simply tilt beneath our feet. The ancient obsidian wall of the Black Glaciers surrendered to destruction with a deafening scream."Hold on to me!" Zade roared.Before the stone could completely slip from beneath my boots, he wrapped his free arm around my waist and pulled me against him.In the fraction of a second before we fell, Noctis spread both his enormous wings.On his left wing, where I had just fused the shattered bone with my own ether, emerald green runes blazed between the black scales.The dragon didn't fall.He glided downward, sailing through a rain of boulders and shards of ice crashing against the cliff face, descending into the smoke and dust filled depths of the gorge.Zade and I leaped from his back almost simultaneously, barely a few yards before our feet reached the frozen, blood soaked ground.The force of the landing shot through my knees, but the runes of the Ancient Focus immediately absorbed t

    Eira The darkness was not friendly. It felt as if heavy weights pressed down on my chest while the walls moved closer inch by inch, ready to crush me completely. Then suddenly there was air. Cold, clean air filled my lungs, carrying the scent of mint and pine. My eyelids trembled. The

    Zade Her wrist was thin, almost fragile in my grip, yet the tension radiating from her felt like a drawn bowstring. As I led her deeper into the belly of the palace, the corridors grew narrower and the walls glistened with dampness in the torchlight. Something was wrong. This was not the

    Eira After the door closed behind Zade I was left alone in the steaming silence. The water was hot, almost burning my skin, but I welcomed the pain. I scrubbed myself with the rough sponge until my skin turned red. I wanted to wash everything off. The dust of the streets. The memory of the th

    Eira My wrist throbbed from his grip. He dragged me across the dusty square as if I were livestock being hauled to slaughter, not a human being. I tried to plant my feet. I tried to shove away from him. But the prince was like an immovable wall of stone. With every jerk of his arm I felt the
