Blood Heir
Order and chaos was their natural rhythm but tonight, even Liam had the decency to keep his mouth shut.
The torches burned low, their light flickering against the bars of the final cell. There she sat, small, trembling, wrists bound, a bruise along her cheekbone from William’s earlier outburst the other day and eyes though swollen, tried to stay alert.
The girl from the peace summit and the one who turned the Moon Stone white.
I’d been replaying that moment in my mind for hours: the chaos, the blood, the impossible light. I had never seen anything like it since the death of the Goddess. But somehow, this scrawny orphan was the cause.
