The glass desert was a sad and beautiful place. It was like a piece of glass that went on forever. The Salt Flats had been cooked into a sheet of glass that was so clear it looked like water. When you walked on it it felt like you were walking on the stars because it reflected the three moons in the sky perfectly.King Silas was taken away by his generals. They dragged him to the boat because he was hurt really bad. He was not a king anymore he was a man who could not keep his promises.The resonance is changing Helios said. He was standing at the edge of the glass sea. His golden hair was blowing in the wind. He looked like a statue. The third seal is sad he said. I can hear her heartbeat under the water.I said the Sea-Singer. I was wearing a cloak and the Lunar Circlet. It felt different now it felt warmer. The maps we found said the Azure Trench was past the Southern Isles.. There were bad people there privateers who worked for the Royal Pack.Then we need a boat Malachi said. He

The deep ocean did not scream it let out a groan that sounded like the world was being folded in half.The Void-Eaters hand was like nothing I had ever seen before. It was made of "Anti-Aether" a kind of vacuum that sucked the light out of the Sea-Singers sapphire form. As the shadow tightened around her throat her bioluminescence. The water around her turned a murky grey.Captain Vanes voice was frantic as he yelled through the speaking tube. "The hull is buckling! The pressure is getting worse by the second! Princess if you do not do something we will be crushed!"I did not wait for anyone to respond. I ran to the center of the engine room. I did not go for the iron. I went for the glass.I slammed my hands against the window. The Lunar Circlet on my brow was no longer violet it was a white. My vision blurred as I forced my mind out of the ship and into the water.I thought to myself I am the Moon. The Moon moves the tides. The Moon is the mistress of the deep.I did not try to pull

Chapter 25: The Tremor in the Timber The Southern Ocean was now behind us but I could still taste the deep sea. As The Widow’s Wail docked at the Western estuary I felt the salt under my skin. It mixed with a slow-moving current that I hadn't felt before. I stood in the captain's quarters looking down at my hand. Under the lantern light the veins under my fingernails didn't look healthy. They were spider-like lines of dark ink. When I tried to connect with the Aether it didn't spark; it hissed, blocked by the Void-matter I had taken in to stop Queen Valerius’s eclipse. "You're hiding it from the others, " Malachi said, standing in the doorway. His silhouette blocked the green-tinted mist of the mangroves. He didn't ask to come, he just walked in. His golden eyes immediately locked onto my hand before I could pull my sleeve down. "Kaelen and Jaxon are already dealing with a war " I said, my voice tight. "They don't need to know their sister is carrying a problem." "It's not a pro

The air at the copper line didn't smell of metal; it tasted like blood.The humidity was so thick it felt like breathing in fire. The orange glow from the river below cast a hellish light across the cavern. As Malachi and I went down the set of petrified roots we saw the Earth-Shaker's huge stone-ribbed body.He was stuck into the mountain wall. His chest was cracked open not by nature. By huge iron boring-drills. These drills were being turned by a system of steam-powered gears. From his heart, a liquid glowing like magma—his Celestial Core—was being taken into a huge iron pot.The pot was suspended over the copper.Alpha Garrick stood on a metal walkway beside the pot. His iron mallet rested on his shoulder. He looked down at us. Laughed loudly."The Northern Luna!" Garrick shouted. "You’re too late Princess! The Queen’s gold bought us the tools. The Earth-Shaker’s blood will buy us the empire! With this core we can make weapons that can cut through the Aether shields of the High Pe

The Central Capital was a city. It did not look like it was about to be involved in a war in the sky. The city looked like a diamond in the sunlight.The city was very big. It was situated in a huge area between some neutral territories. It had lots of marble roads, tall glass towers and nice gardens in the air. This city was the center of the wolf world where all the important people lived. It was where the High Council and the Central Parliament were located. These were the people who made the rules and laws for everyone. They used pens and papers to make agreements of fighting with their teeth and claws. The city also had a lot of money and magic that helped keep the people from the other areas under control."This city smells bad, " Kaelen said quietly, pulling his grey coat up around his neck.We had changed our clothes for new ones so we could fit in with the other important people from the North. If we had gone to the Capital with our weapons and magic the city's defense system
