Thalia's Ashen Fate
The words burst from me, a surge of triumph making me scramble toward the edge of a rocky ledge where a lone, silvered flower bloomed in the sun.
He was beside me in an instant, his expression softening with a gentle regret. "That's a Silverwink. A close cousin, but not our blossom." He pointed to the leaves. "See how the edges are rounded? The Moonless Blossom’s leaves are pointed, like daggers."
Disappointment washed over me, sharp and cold. Of course, it wouldn't be that easy. Pushing myself back to my feet, I brushed the dirt and grit from my knees.
