The third bell was still fading beneath the mountains when Seraphina stared at the child.

"What did you say?"

The child backed away from the window, clutching the silver ring so tightly that its knuckles whitened. Outside, snow swept across the courtyard. No figure stood beyond the glass, and the guards stationed near the gate were barely visible through the falling flakes.

"The voice said you gave me my name," the child whispered. "It said you told Mother what to call me."

  • THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE    CHAPTER 135: Three Knocks Beneath the Floor

    The third knock left the common room trembling.Nobody spoke. The guard stood frozen in the doorway, his attention fixed on the floorboards beneath his boots. The child had drawn its knees against its chest, clutching the silver ring while the blanket slipped from one shoulder.Seraphina rose slowly."Nobody moves until we know where that came from."Commander Rowan signaled to the guards. Two took positions at the common-room entrance, while another watched the corridor leading to the lower stairwell. Kael remained beside the table, staring at the floor.The crowned warrior drew his sword."Put it away," Seraphina said.His gaze shifted toward her. "Something is beneath us.""And drawing your sword won't tell us what it is.""If it comes through that floor—""Then we deal with it when it does. Until then, nobody goes downstairs alone."He lowered the blade but kept it in his hand.Aurelith knelt beside a narrow gap between two floorboards, where the old stone foundation showed beneat

    The third bell was still fading beneath the mountains when Seraphina stared at the child."What did you say?"The child backed away from the window, clutching the silver ring so tightly that its knuckles whitened. Outside, snow swept across the courtyard. No figure stood beyond the glass, and the guards stationed near the gate were barely visible through the falling flakes."The voice said you gave me my name," the child whispered. "It said you told Mother what to call me.""I have never met you before the temple.""I know."The answer came too quickly. Seraphina searched the child's face, but it looked as confused as she felt."Then why would it say that?""I don't know." The child pressed its hands against its ears. "It keeps telling me things I cannot remember."Dusk-born moved between the child and the window. Elara drew closer to Cael, who leaned against the table to keep his injured ankle from taking his weight. The guards had begun whispering among themselves, and Commander Row

    Kael reached the door first."Nobody enters this room until we know who is outside," he told the guard. "And nobody leaves without my permission."The guard bowed and hurried away.Seraphina returned the Sword of Dawn to its sheath, though she kept one hand near the hilt. The three knocks had stopped, but she could still feel the vibration beneath her boots. She remembered the hidden chamber at the temple and the crowned warrior's troubled expression when the knocks had sounded there. Yet she had no proof that the two incidents were connected.Aurelith remained beside the table, studying the northern map."Do you recognize those knocks?" Seraphina asked."They resemble a detail in an incomplete account of the first seals," Aurelith replied. "The record mentions three sounds beneath a sealed city. It doesn't identify their source, and it doesn't establish whether they came from within the city or somewhere beyond it.""Then we treat them as a warning until we know more."Kael looked at

    The first snow had reached the royal road before Seraphina's party left the temple behind.They had travelled for most of the day, following a winding road through the foothills. The further north they went, the colder the air became. Snow gathered in the hollows beside the path, and the horses struggled where frozen mud made the ground slippery. Cael's injured ankle slowed the party, forcing them to stop twice so Dusk-born could help him adjust the bandage beneath his boot.He complained only once."If this road gets any worse, I'll have to let someone carry me."Elara gave him a sideways look. "You already lean on Dusk-born whenever you think no one's watching.""That's because she walks faster than you.""I do not.""Both of you save your strength," Dusk-born said, tightening her hold on Cael's arm. "You'll need it before we reach shelter."Seraphina watched them for a moment before turning her attention back to the road. The ordinary argument was reassuring. Since leaving the temp

    ARC 5: The journey to the North The name vanished before anyone could understand it.For a heartbeat, the crowned warrior stood motionless before the inner door, his sword hanging at his side. Then the lock clicked into place behind the wood, and the Sword of Dawn flared in Seraphina's hand. Heat surged through the hilt, forcing her to tighten her grip.The three cuts in the floor began to glow."Everyone away from the entrance!" Aurelith ordered.Dusk-born pulled Elara and Cael toward the outer passage while Seraphina caught the crowned warrior by the shoulder. He barely reacted. His attention remained fixed on the door, his expression caught somewhere between recognition and dread."That name," Seraphina said. "Did it mean something to you?"His jaw tightened. "I recognized the sound.""But not the name?""I remember hearing it before. I cannot tell you where, or who it belonged to."Before she could press him further, a heavy impact struck the other side of the door. Dust spilled

  • THE NIGHT MY MATE BURNED ME ALIVE    CHAPTER 130: The Voice He Remembered

    The handle turned halfway before stopping.Seraphina kept her hand around the crowned warrior's arm. He had not tried to pull away, but his attention remained fixed on the door, his expression caught between recognition and dread."You said you know that voice," she reminded him. "Whose voice is it?"He swallowed. "I don't know.""Then what do you recognize?""The way it says again." He closed his eyes briefly. "There was someone who used to say that whenever I left a room. I remember the words, but I can't see the person's face."The handle shifted back into place.Aurelith moved closer, stopping beside Seraphina. "Could it have been the woman from your memory?""Possibly.""Or the voice could be using a phrase you once heard," Seraphina added. "We cannot assume the memory and the voice belong to the same person."The crowned warrior looked at her hand on his arm. She released him, though she remained between him and the door.From the other side came a soft, uneven breath."You're s
