Chapter SeventyThe Siege of the Sacred NorthThe first roar came from beyond the mountains.Then another answered.Then hundreds.The sound rolled through the Sacred North until the silver tree trembled above them.Ariana stood beneath its glowing branches, the fragment of the Heart of the Moon still resting in her palm.It was warm.Almost impossibly warm.Yet the closer the Abyss army came, the colder the valley became.Cassian looked toward the northern ridge."They're here."Kael moved beside Ariana."How many?"Cassian didn't answer immediately.He watched the dark shapes appearing beyond the snow covered mountains."Too many."---The first creatures appeared between the trees.Black wolves.Winged beasts.Tall figures covered in armor made from darkness.They moved silently through the snow.There was no wild charge.They advanced like soldiers following a single command.At the center of them all walked the Primordial Darkness.Its enormous body no longer floated above the ba

Chapter Seventy-TwoThe Queens Beneath the WaterThe whisper faded.The chamber became completely still.Ariana stared at the black pool.Hundreds of silver eyes remained beneath its surface.They weren't moving.They were watching.Kael stepped in front of Ariana."Whatever comes out of there..."He tightened his grip on his sword."...it doesn't get near her."Aster raised his hand."Don't attack."Kael glanced at him."Why?""Because those aren't creatures."Aster looked at the pool with something close to fear."They are the Queens."---The surface of the water began to rise.Not like a wave.Like something beneath it was standing.A woman's face appeared first.Then her shoulders.Then the rest of her body.She stepped out of the water without making a sound.She wore an ancient silver gown.A crown rested on her head.Her eyes were completely white.Another woman emerged behind her.Then another.Soon, the chamber was filled with them.Queens.Dozens.Then hundreds.Every one o

Chapter Seventy-FourWhen Light Met DarknessThe Fifth Seal shattered.The sound was unlike anything Ariana had ever heard.It wasn't simply an explosion.It was as though the mountain itself had screamed.The silver walls cracked from floor to ceiling.Pieces of ancient stone fell into the darkness below.The Queens scattered across the chamber as the enormous eye beyond the broken seal opened wider.Kael pulled Ariana away from the collapsing wall."Move!"They barely escaped before a massive piece of stone crashed where they had been standing.Aster raised his spear.Cassian stepped forward.The Primordial Darkness remained motionless.For once, it wasn't looking at Ariana.It was looking at the creature beyond the shattered seal.The Devourer.And the fear in its eyes was impossible to miss.---The Devourer slowly pushed one enormous hand through the opening.The hand was larger than the sanctuary itself.Where its fingers touched the ancient walls, the silver markings disappeare

Chapter Seventy-SixThe Woman on the ThroneNobody moved.Ariana stood at the bottom of the staircase, staring at the woman sitting on the black throne.She looked exactly like her.The same silver hair.The same eyes.The same face.The only difference was the darkness covering the woman's skin like a second shadow.Kael stepped in front of Ariana."Stay behind me."The woman laughed."Still protecting her."Kael raised his sword."Who are you?"The woman rested her chin against one hand."You can call me whatever you want."Her black eyes settled on Ariana."But she already knows my name."Ariana shook her head."No, I don't."The woman smiled."You will."---The Primordial Darkness appeared at the bottom of the stairs.The moment it saw the woman, it stopped."You."The woman's smile widened."I wondered how long it would take you to find me."The ancient being raised its hand.Dark energy gathered around its fingers.Aster immediately grabbed its arm."Don't."The Primordial Dark

Chapter Seventy-EightThe King Beyond the SkyThe golden eyes remained open above the mountains.Nobody spoke.Even the ancient Guardian stood completely still.Ariana stared through the broken ceiling, trying to understand what she was seeing.The eyes were enormous.Too enormous to belong to anything living within their world.Kael moved closer."What is that?"The former First Shadow answered quietly."The reason the first kingdoms disappeared."Ariana looked at her."You know it?""I remember it."The woman looked toward the sky."I remember when it came."---A deep sound rolled across the mountains.The golden eyes moved.Something enormous shifted behind the clouds.Then a hand appeared.It pushed through the clouds as though the sky were nothing more than a thin curtain.The mountains shook.Snow fell from the peaks.Aster raised his spear."Everyone get inside!"The ancient Guardian stepped forward."No."Aster looked at him."What are you doing?""Facing it."The Guardian pl
