SERAPHINA POVI had felt a zap of electricity when the woman's hand had brushed mine like a thunderclap in a still sky. It was there and gone the next moment. Now the woman was staring at me with a mix of emotions I found concerning—shock, fear, curiosity. Was she afraid of me? From the corner of my eye I saw Kaelan watching her. Then it was as if something clicked in his head because his eyes went wild. "You're a witch," I heard him say. I scrutinized the woman. She appeared middle-aged, yet her hair was as dark as midnight. She stood almost as tall as me, but there was nothing about her that screamed "witch." Just like Rion, she blended seamlessly into the world, her magic hidden beneath the surface. She didn't seem to hear what Kaelan had said for all her attention was fixed on me. And then she whispered, "An Oracle." "Pardon?" I asked her, confused and a little tense. That seems to snap the woman out of h

RION POV The papers on my desk blurred, my eyelids drooping. Sleep was a desperate need, but a nightmare's grip held me captive. I'd wake, the details lost, but a few images remained: a woman with raven hair, screaming, a man's hand plunging a blade into her heart. That was all I could remember. But I knew it was the same nightmare every night. A hand on my shoulder jolted me awake. Instinct took over. My hand flew to the dagger at my waist, springing to my feet, the blade pressed against the intruder's throat. "Gods, Rion! What the hell!" Aric shouted, his eyes wide with alarm.I sighed and released him, slumping back down in my seat. "Apologies, Aric," I muttered, running a hand through my hair. "I had knocked but when no answer came I decided to let myself in," Aric explained. "What is wrong with you, Rion? Gods, look at the state of you." I didn't need a mirror to see the state I was in. My usually pristin

SERAPHINA POV I blinked open my heavy eyelids and immediately closed them back. Gods, why was it so bright?!A rustle broke the silence, followed by the soft dimming of light behind my closed eyelids. I blinked open my eyes to find three familiar faces, etched with worry, staring back at me. A smile tugged at my lips as I attempted to sit up. Kaelan rushed to my side, treating me like a fragile bird. I rolled my eyes at his theatrics, a warmth spreading through my chest despite his fussing. He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes. "Seraphina," Rion said, voice low, eyes worried. "Hi," I said, my voice hoarse. "Are you okay?" Aric asked, standing beside Rion with his arms folded. I nodded. I felt lighter than I had earlier today. What was it today? I didn't have a single dream. Not one. I couldn't remember the last time I've had a dreamless sleep. I would never take it for grante

ARIC POV The sun hung low in the sky, casting long shadows over the makeshift grave. I stood beside Kaelen and Rion, the weight of grief heavy in the air. The ground was freshly turned, a stark reminder of what we had lost.It was a huge honor that Rion was here. Most wouldn't stoop to attend a soldier's burial, even the nobility. But Rion was different. He saw everyone as equals. That's why we connected so well. He didn't act like royalty, he acted like one of us. I looked over at Kaelen and my heart ached for him. Kaelen stood resolute, but I could sense the turmoil beneath his stoic exterior. He had lost men before, but this one felt different. Leon was one of his own. He had rescued the boy from a village and brought him to the kingdom to join his army. Leon was like what Rion and I were to him even though he didn't show it. He tried to hide his sorrow but I could see through him. I cou

SERAPHINA POVThe sun warmed my skin as I sat on the garden bench, the scent of flowers a comforting embrace. It should have been a perfect day, but the weight of grief pressed down on me, a heavy stone in my chest.Ember and Elara had returned to the barracks, their future postings unknown. I hoped they'd be stationed close, perhaps even at the palace, or at least somewhere not too far away. These past days have been a blur of sorrow. Left alone, my mind raced, unable to find solace. The men had tried to give me space to grieve, but I craved their presence, their company.I didn't know where to find them. The palace was vast, and they seemed perpetually busy.I sighed, leaning back against the bench, and turned my face towards the sun. I stared at its brilliance until my eyes burned, but I couldn't bring myself to close them. A shadow blocked the sun above and I finally closed my eyes. "Are you trying to blind y
