CASSANDRAAnubis suddenly snorted and glanced at me with irritation with yet even further cruelness.“Healer Cassandra hasn’t even agreed yet,” he sneered, and his black eyes flashed. “It seems our king isn’t charming enough to illicit a response.”As he laughed, Raven appeared surprised. She folded her legs beneath her and sat forward.“Why wouldn’t you want to marry Kaleb?” she asked me in confusion. “Every girl in Yurene dreams about the king.”Anubis lifted a thick dark brow. “Including you, Raven?”Raven’s jaw dropped and she shook her head firmly. “Me? Of course not! My sister, though… she probably went nuts when she heard about this.”Anubis laughed again, and I felt my face flush as I watched this exchange. Roxy had seemed intense when I’d met her, so I was a little surprised to find out that she admired Kaleb. Then again, with how cruel and blunt the dark-haired beauty was, I couldn’t be too shocked that the cruel Northern king was her type.As I glanced at Kaleb, I wondered

CASSANDRANervousness plagued me the entire way back to my chamber. On one hand, I was afraid that Helene’s maid would notice the thing her mistress had placed in my pocket, and on the other, I was eager to know what it was.When I reached my room, I took a moment to greet Erika and Finnick, and then I told Erika I needed to read something. Though the declaration was a little bit of a lie, it wasn’t an unusual excuse by any means. I’d spent most of my days reading since I’d arrived in Vlokwell- usually eagerly studying the books Emmett had left for me and searching for clues.Finnick was too busy playing by himself to notice anything was amiss, and as I walked by and headed to the quiet corner I’d claimed as my reading nook, I found myself missing him dearly. We saw each other daily, but with everything happening, I didn’t get the quality time I was used to with him.I had duties to fulfill, and once I did, Finnick and I, along with Erika, would find our way back to Wegalla. Back to A

ASHER“I don’t think this is a good idea,” Silas uttered before I had the chance to say a word.Kane’s violet eyes flashed and his eyebrows creased together in confusion. “Oh? And what would you suggest we do, Silas? I’m not hearing you brainstorm any helpful ideas. Please, the floor is all yours. Offer up something useful.”Silas’ demeanor grew defensive and his lips drew into a thin line. When he didn’t reply within a second or two, Kane scoffed in his direction.“That’s what I thought,” my stepbrother remarked and then he smirked. “You have nothing in mind, do you, Moses?”He took care to emphasize Silas’ surname, and it was spat with venom right back at the Beta. I knew Silas didn’t trust Kane, nor did my stepbrother fully trust Silas. The two men stared at one another silently, and tension hung in the air. I allowed this to go on for a minute, and then I cleared my throat and stepped between them.“Enough,” I said in a low and warning voice, and I held my hands up in an attempt t

CASSANDRAIt wasn’t a joke.I knew it in my bones.Raven’s expression had given it away the moment she’d been caught.The storm clouds that had plagued my mind felt as if they’d cleared away, and the puzzle pieces felt as if they’d been put together.Mind control.Sorcery.Weapon.That’s what Kaleb wanted, to turn the poor, diseased people into his weapon. Though it sounded utterly insane, this speculation seemed more plausible as Raven fidgeted and kept telling me what she had told me wasn’t a fact.“I shouldn’t make jokes like that,” she said, her tone jittery and nervous. “Roxy would kill me if she’d heard that.”The dark-haired sorceress offered me a dry smile, and for a moment, I debated on pestering her further, but instead, I decided to bide my time. It was best to go along with things for my safety, so I offered Raven a smile back.“Don’t worry,” I assured her warmly. “I know you were kidding, Raven.”She nodded and seemed to soften up a bit. “If you want to know more about th

ASHERMuch to our dismay and agitation, the sorceress’ mouth was very tight. No matter what we tried, Kane and I couldn’t pry answers out of her. She was well-trained and her expression remained eerily calm and aloof no matter what questions we asked of her. Thankfully, there were a few facts we knew to be true right away just by looking at her. It wasn’t difficult to surmise from her dress that she was from the North. She also shared the same tilt of her head that seemed to be a cultural gesture amongst the Yurenians. I’d seen Kaleb do the same thing many times while he was here in Anemond, so I knew she was from his country.As we continued our interrogation, I grew worried about Silas and the soldiers, but luckily, after half an hour or so, they awoke from their magic-induced slumber. Apart from feeling a bit dizzy and disoriented, they seemed to be fine, but the atmosphere around camp was tense and unpleasant.This Northern sorceress had caused a big quarrel between Silas and Kan
