Thorne slashed at me once more, an arc of desperation that scorched fire along my shoulder, but I didn’t flinch. I caught his arm, twisted it until it cracked, and roared once more as I slammed him into the earth with all of my weight. His body went slack.
But I didn’t stop until I could see Kellan again.
And when I did, when he saw me, when his gaze met mine across the courtyard, still shimmering under his brother’s touch, I didn’t have to say anything.
