Battle Of Blackwater Bay Novels & Stories

"We can't just storm the place," my father said, pointing to the satellite images spread across the council table. "The Blackwater Resort has one road in, three miles of shoreline, and Logan's people watching every approach." Four hours of sleep hadn't been enough. My body ached, my head throbbed, and the bond with Silas pulsed like an infected wound. I could feel him—alive, in pain, conscious now—but couldn't reach him. "Then we don't use the obvious approaches," I countered, leaning over the map. "What about underwater? The east side of the peninsula?"

he reminded him and Maxton nodded. With a deafening cry, the battle began. Maxton’s men who were stationed in the woods to attack the middle part of Harrion’s battalion attacked, and the company at the end of Harrion’s battalion was still unmounting their ships in the river yet the soldiers from the South had already rained them with arrows and spears, attacking them and pushing them back to the roaring currents of the river, several Harrion’s men getting taken away with the strong current. The soldiers from the South knew where the current was weakest and which part were deep and shallow and they took advantage of this knowledge and familiarity to the Haonen River to their advantage. Severa

And Blackwood. The real battle was about to begin.

“Blackwater was just the beginning. She’s shaping the roads. The shrines. The borders.” I lean down one last time, voice low enough that only he can hear. “She miscalculated one thing.” He looks up at me, eyes glassy. “She thought I’d chase her.” The doors close. Silence slams into the room. Ronin exhales slowly. “We lost two at Blackwater,” he says. “Four injured. The breach collapsed when we destroyed the runes, but… it stabilized faster than it should have.” “She wanted to see how we’d respond,” I say. “She got what she needed.”

And I was going back. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hands and forced myself up off the counter. I had to be strong. Papa wouldn’t want this. I packed enough for a couple days and before I knew it, I was getting off a plane and walking down the runway in a trance. It all went by in a hazy blur. I didn’t remember leaving my apartment, let alone getting on a plane, but here I was, just outside the airport. I hailed a cab and told the driver where I was going. He chuckled and raised a bushy black eyebrow. “Blackwater, eh? I don’t think I’ve ever been,” he leaned closer to the rear view mirror and lowered his voice. “I’ve heard rumors about the people there.” I perked up. “Really?” I was cu

He moved to the door. "Prepare the wolves. In two days, we march on Blackwater. And this time, we finish what we started." He left. Maya stood alone in the war room. Staring at the map. At Blackwater territory. At the mistake Aria didn't know she'd made.

He had slipped on the muddy bank and fallen into the pond. He didn't know how to swim, his life at risk. Mathilde was at a loss, standing there like a statue. In the nick of time, I yanked off my jacket and dove in. When I pulled him out, he was unconscious. Using first aid I'd learned from our family doctor, I performed CPR. When he coughed up water, I ran to the school for help. But fate played a cruel trick on me. When I returned, Sawyer was crying in Mathilde's arms, thanking her.

The morning after Inquisitor Vane’s ultimatum, the Blackwater River looked like a graveyard of iron. Three massive Southern warships sat anchored in the center of the flow, their steam vents huffing rhythmic clouds of grey smoke into the pristine mountain air. They were "teeth" of a different kind—not bone and sinew, but coal and steel. ​Rhea stood on the battlements, her fingers tracing the rough stone of the manor. Beside her, Elias was a statue of suppressed fury. The grey-gold veins on his neck pulsed in time with the thrumming of the ships' engines.

"We continued toward Blackwater." "No interruptions?" "No." "No strangers?" "No." He watched me carefully. "You answer quickly." "Because I don't need to invent anything." Another pause. Then... He asked almost casually, "Describe the Blackwater River." "The current was stronger than usual." "The water level had risen." "There had been rain upstream." "The western bank was muddy."
