Caius POV “Bonnie of the Northern Coven,” said Head Councilor Jucintha, her voice echoing like stones dropped into a well. “You have requested an audience to speak on behalf of the accused, Kieran and Caius. You understand the gravity of these proceedings. Kieran stands charged with treason, conspiracy to incite war, and the murder of secondary guards and citizens. Caius stands charged as his accomplice.”“I understand,” Bonnie said. “And I understand that you have already decided they are guilty. But I am here to tell you the truth, whether you want to hear it or not.”A murmur moved through the chamber. Caspian’s smile widened.“Then speak,” Jucintha said. “But know that every word will be weighed.”Bonnie took a breath. She looked at Kieran, then at Caius. Both were bound. Both were silent. Both had sacrificed everything. She would not let their sacrifice be buried beneath Caspian’s lies.“I met Kieran five years ago,” she began, “when he and Caius came to the secondary coven seek

Caius POV One of the guards came out with a lantern in his hand traversing the courtyard to tell Caius that his room was prepared, second door to the right.He followed the lantern. Inside, the fortress was dark and quiet. Everyone had retired, and only the last of the embers were burning in the spit fire.

He was

Bonnie’s POV The sun was setting when Bonnie finally left the hall. The square was still crowded, but the mood had shifted from tension to celebration. People were dancing and singing, sharing food and drink, embracing strangers as if they were old friends. Bonnie found a quiet corner near the fountain and sat down. She was exhausted, more exhausted than she had ever been in her life. But it was a good exhaustion. The kind that came after a long battle, when you knew you had won. “You look like you could use this.” She looked up. The Councillor Jucintha was standing there, holding two cups of something steaming. She handed one to Bonnie and sat down beside her. “Thank you,” Bonnie said. She took a sip. It was tea, hot and sweet and perfect. “You did well today,” Jucintha said. “You saved them.” “I didn’t do it alone,” Bonnie said. “I had help.” Jucintha smiled. “From what I hear, you had a lot of help.” Bonnie looked at her. “Why did he do it?
