EMBER’S POV“No.”It’s out of me before she finishes.“No. Absolutely not.” I’m shaking my head, my stomach turning at the thought. “I want nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with that man. You’ve described him to me for the last hour, Mother. He’s a snake who betrayed the woman who loved him, who tried to force you to kill me, who handed you to a hunt to save his own skin. He might be no different from you.” The words are gut-punching, and I don’t take them back. “You want me to walk into the East and shake hands with my monster of a father to murder a woman? I won’t. I won’t take a life, and I especially won’t take hers.” I meet the whole table. “Because here’s the thing none of you wants to say plainly. Isolde isn’t wrong. Not really. Her wolf was stolen from her line. Her crown is sleeping in me. If someone took my family’s whole legacy and hid it in a stranger’s child, I’d hunt it too. She’s cruel, and she’s dangerous, and she wants me dead — but she’s not wrong to see me as a th

EMBER’S POVDevika freezes. Her hands drop from her wet face.For a long, terrible moment, she just stares at me. And then, right in front of my eyes, the ice finally cracks. The monster dies.Twenty-six years of survival comes crashing down, and the woman under it caves in.“Because that’s what he called me,” she whispers. It is the softest, most broken sound I have ever heard her make. “Rhovan. When it was just the two of us, in the dark. When I was the only thing in the world he wanted. He’d take my face in his hands and he’d call me his spark in the dark. His ember. The little fire that kept catching no matter how the world tried to put it out.”Devika reaches across the black table.Her hand is trembling violently, her knuckles white. And when her cold, shaking fingers gently cup my wet cheek, the breath violently leaves my lungs.It is the first time in my entire life my mother has touched me with tenderness.I let out a wounded, suffocated noise and lean into her palm. She smel

EMBER’S POVHis jaw works, and then he nods.The scale glows and reaches into me, and I feel it lift the whole rot of Gale out — years of terror and grinding and a white hospital ceiling, flashes after flashes, of violence and blood and cruel words and down to the sex with Logan — and then there’s a smooth blank place where he lived, and I know only, the way you know a fact about a stranger, that I was married once, and it was bad, and I left.The details of it are gone. And it doesn’t hurt at all.The light of the scale dies down, and I am heaving, chest heaving and confused.What did I give away?It’s hard to dwell on, because Devika’s wound is still crushing.“And you, King,” Silas says.Knox is quiet. Then, he says softly:“My father. Everything he was. Everything he did to my mother, to me, to this life. The night he nearly killed her, and every night before it, and every day since I’ve spent carrying the fear that I’m made of the same thing.” His face is stone. “I’ve let that ma

EMBER’S POVI drop my fork and sit up, my spine locking completely straight as the realisation hits me so hard it physically knocks the breath out of my lungs.“Silas,” I say.The urgency in my tone makes both men freeze instantly. Knox’s hand tightens on my waist, his Lycan instincts surging at the sudden spike of my heart rate.I turn my head, staring directly into my uncle’s eyes.“Silas. Can I ask you something?”His posture shifts instantly, and he sets his glass down.“Of course.”“You mentioned that this mountain has ties with the East,” I say, the words rushing out of me as the adrenaline spikes back into my blood. “You said you have sources that sometimes keep you informed. That’s how you knew Devika was being hunted. Right?”Silas’s brow furrows. He eyes Knox for a brief second, measuring the sudden shift in the room, then nods grimly.“Yes.”I lean forward, my heart hammering wildly against my ribs.“That means you would have access to the Eastern black market.”“Sure,” he

Hello everyone! First of all, thank you so much for your patience during this wait. Please rest assured that this book is definitely not abandoned, and updates are coming very soon!As I mentioned recently, we are officially in the last lap of the story. I have seen so many of your comments and questions rolling in. You are all asking how we can possibly be near the end when Hale is still here, Rayana is still sick, and Nathaniel and Queenie have not even sorted things out yet.
