Like the air itself was holding its breath.

I will be the storm that clears the board. I reach the top of the landing. I look down into the dark foyer. Goodbye, Graziella, I think. The Ghost is dead. The Queen has to rise now.

As we stood in the quiet of the mother world, Toby’s voice crackled through the long-range link from the Grand Navigator’s vessel. "Mom! Dad! You need to see this," Toby said, his voice filled with a frantic, adventurous excitement. "I’m at the edge of the Andromeda Reach. The First Gate didn't just lead to the core. It’s a network. I’m picking up a signal from outside the galaxy. It’s rhythmic. It’s sixty beats per minute."

I worked on the screws with a nail file yesterday. I push the grate aside. Darkness. And sound. The vent connects to the hallway outside the suite. The acoustics carry voices down the metal shaft like a telephone line. "They found the truck," a voice growls. It’s deep. Rough. One of the Reaper guards. "Burned?" another voice asks. "Shredded. Tire tracks leading into the woods. But no body." My heart skips a beat. Thump. "It's him," the first voice whispers. "The Ghost."

“I’m not here to hurt you.” A man stepped forward just enough for her to see him — mid-thirties, hard face, wearing a black and silver cut. With the vest– Devil’s Sons. “Name’s Ghost,” he said quietly, keeping his distance. “We’ve been watching this war from the outside. King is getting too bold, too powerful. It’s bad for business. We want him gone.” Hazel’s pulse hammered. “What do you want from me?” Ghost kept his hands visible. “Inside information. Reaper’s plans. Timing on the next hit. In return, we extract you and your friend Lena. Clean IDs. Full protection far away from here. No more tracker. No more Reaper.”

Alex grumbled and I hummed, "I'll appear before my father when the time is right." "What about Ginevra, how would she know?" He asked. "You don't worry your head about that one. She'll definitely find me." She was, after all, the smartest woman I had ever known. The Ghost will be dead by the break of dawn. The Ghost—Ricardo Sanchez will undergo a rebirth by the break of dawn. But even in my confidence, my heart still shuddered with questions. Would I truly be dead by the break of dawn, or would the universe be kind enough to grant me an opportunity at yet another life?

Lethal ones. "The 'Ghost-Frequency' in the relay stations just went live," Vladya snapped, his eyes darting to the infant in Aradaa’s arms. "It’s a call to arms. But the signal... it’s messy. Jagged. It isn't human. It isn't Urekai." Aradaa stood up, the chair scraping a harsh protest against the floor. He tightened his grip on the baby, his knuckles turning white against the linen swaddle. "That frequency was buried under a mile of dead code. Nobody should have the key. Not after the Release."

Maelis's quarters were empty. Her maps were spread across the table, and one location was circled in red. A place called the Sunken Valley. The Gray Reach was a hidden settlement carved into the northern mountains, its buildings built from pale stone and its streets winding between cliffs that kept it invisible from the outside. I had never been here before. Maelis had described it in detail, her ancient eyes bright with pride, and now I was walking through her empty rooms while the wolves she led searched the wilderness for any sign of her.
