Throne of Ash and Anethyst Epilogue
EpilogueTomorrow, If We ChooseTwenty Years LaterThe door was still there.That was the first thing Emmy noticed when she opened the cottage curtains.Wooden.Ordinary.Quiet.Twenty years had passed since it first appeared at the edge of the garden, and in all that time the door had never moved.It had survived rain.Snow.Dragon fire from an unfortunate incident involving Liora at fourteen.Two expansions of the cottage.One argument over whether the garden needed a stone wall.Aveline accidentally backing a wagon into it.Xander urinating against it once.Caliana had laughed for nearly an hour.The door had remained deeply unimpressed.It never demanded.Never threatened.Never whispered to Emmy while she slept.Once every few years, the same words appeared across its surface.WOULD YOU LIKE TO OPEN ME?Emmy always considered.Sometimes for a second.Sometimes longer.Her answer had remained the same.“Not today.”And the door always answered:OKAY.Emmy smiled at it now.Nothing

Chapter Forty-SevenThrone of Ash and AmethystThe last door appeared at sunset.Emmy almost missed it.That, more than anything, told her how much her life had changed.There had been a time when the appearance of an unknown door would have stopped everything.She would have felt it before seeing it.Her amethyst would have burned.Her wolf would have paced beneath her skin.Her vampire blood would have sharpened.Ignisvath would have appeared beside her with golden fire already gathering in his hands.Someone would have whispered about prophecy.Someone else would have found an ancient book.Dimitrius would have said something irritatingly mysterious.And Emmy would have opened the door because she believed every mystery that found her had become her responsibility.Not anymore.Now she nearly walked past it carrying tomatoes.“Emmy?”She stopped.Ignisvath stood twenty feet away beside the little cottage they had eventually claimed as their own.Not the castle.Not a palace.A cott

Chapter Forty-SixLioraThree years later, Emmy discovered there were things more terrifying than makers, ancient dragons, blood magic, and doors between worlds.One of them was a three-year-old girl standing on the roof of Dragontooth Castle.“LIORA!”The little girl looked down.Violet eyes.Black curls.Bare feet.And the most unapologetic expression Emmy had ever seen.“Mama!”“Do not Mama me! Get off that roof!”Liora considered.“No.”Emmy closed her eyes.Behind her, Ignisvath laughed.She turned slowly.“Something funny?”“No.”“You are laughing.”“I am experiencing private happiness.”Emmy stared.“You used that exact excuse years ago.”“It remains effective.”“Our daughter is on the roof.”“Yes.”“Do something.”Ignisvath looked up.“Liora.”The little girl grinned.“Papa!”“Your mother wants you down.”“No.”Ignisvath looked at Emmy.Emmy’s mouth dropped open.“That was your attempt?”“She answered.”“You’re a dragon.”“So is she.”“Half.”“Apparently the half responsible f

Chapter Forty-FiveJasmine Comes HomeJasmine did not know where to put her clothes.Of all the problems Emmy had expected after defeating ancient systems, freeing Vaelgorath, discovering a sister trapped inside an amethyst, surviving the Ninth House, burning a throne, and helping turn a royal chamber into a place where people could argue without kneeling—her mother standing in the middle of a bedroom holding three dresses had not made the list.“Why are you staring at the wardrobe?” Emmy asked.Jasmine glanced over her shoulder.“I’m deciding.”“Between?”“The wardrobe and the chest.”Emmy looked at both.“The wardrobe.”“Why?”“Because that’s where dresses go.”“That isn’t universally true.”“Mom.”Jasmine smiled.Emmy stopped.That word still did something strange to her.Mom.For so long it had belonged to memory.To absence.To the ache behind Emmy’s ribs whenever she imagined a woman she could barely remember clearly enough.Now Mom could turn around.Mom could smile.Mom could

Chapter Forty-FourWhat the Amethyst KeptThe first shard flew for Emmy’s heart.Ignisvath caught it.Amethyst sliced across his palm before he could close his fingers around it.Golden blood struck the cavern floor.“Ignis!”“I’m fine.”The echo wearing Gemma’s face smiled.“Dragon blood.”Her voice sounded almost pleased.“Still so useful.”Ignisvath’s eyes burned gold.“You will not touch her.”The echo tilted her head.“Such certainty from a creature who spent centuries believing a bond meant possession.”Ignisvath’s jaw tightened.Emmy felt his anger through the open connection between them.Not because the echo had discovered some hidden truth.Because it had taken something he had worked hard to change and tried to turn it back into a weapon.Emmy touched his arm.“Ignis.”He looked at her.“Close?”Understanding passed immediately between them.The echo was looking for pathways.Blood.Magic.Bond.Anything that connected one living thing to another.Ignisvath nodded.“Close.”

Chapter Forty-ThreeThe Sister in the AmethystThe baby cried again.Emmy stopped breathing.Not a memory.Not an echo.Not another trick from the maker-network.A baby.Crying.Now.The sound came from the cracked violet stone resting against Emmy’s chest.Small.Frightened.Alive.Emmy’s fingers closed around the amulet.“Mom.”Jasmine didn’t answer.“Mom.”Her mother’s face had gone so pale that even the dim golden light inside the cavern couldn’t hide it.Dimitrius stood beside her like a man who had forgotten how to move.Emmy looked between them.Twenty years of secrets seemed to exist in the silence.Her shock turned into anger.“What do you mean I had a sister?”Jasmine’s lips trembled.“I thought she died.”“That doesn’t answer me.”“I know.”“Then answer me.”Ignisvath came closer.Not between them.Never between them.Beside Emmy.She felt his presence without needing the bond.Draven stood several feet away, watching with an expression that suggested even he understood thi
