I could discover so much in this place. Maybe I could even learn about the symbol on the vase, the one that matched the symbol on my necklace. I opened the book and scanned the pages. Dates. Battles. Names of settlements I had never heard of. Water had damaged several pages, while others had been ripped out entirely. I kept flipping until a heading caught my eye. The Southern Rebellion. My fingers went still. Rowan was from the south. Before I could read another word, the door opened. My head shot up as Zarek entered the room. The moment he saw me, his eyes darkened. Then his gaze dropped to the book in my hands. His eyes went completely black.

Three years together. Lucian proposed seventy-seven times. Aurelia said no every single time. The entire family called her ungrateful. How dare she reject the Underboss? But Aurelia knew the truth. Lucian never wanted to marry her in the first place. The first three times, she said yes. She took the ring with tears in her eyes. Each time, his face turned to ice. "A proper woman doesn't give in so easily," he scoffed. She took the hint. She handed the ring back and said no. Only then did his warm smile return. Then came year three. Aurelia overheard that line between him and Bianca, her adopted sister—intimate, sick, and unmistakable. It hit her like a bullet. Lucian never loved her. Not for

He will ride into battle like a true sovereign. I leaned back against Damon’s broad chest, watching our children play under the glowing palm trees as the desert music drifted through the warm night. A deep, overwhelming sense of peace and fulfillment settled over my soul. Years ago, the North and South had been locked in an endless, bloody war of hatred and suspicion. Now, sitting here in the heart of Sun-Grave, seeing Northern light and Southern fire dancing together in complete harmony, I knew our sacrifices had not been in vain.

The south. Clearwater Town. The spring was at its best, and the willow down was coming down through the air like slow snow. On a corner of one of the streets there was a small book-and-art shop called Rivers & Ink. The front of it was plain enough, but inside it had been kept clean and quiet and rather lovely. At this hour a woman in a plain dress, her hair pinned up simply with a single wooden pin, was bending over an open book with her finger under a line of it, saying something gently to the little girl leaning against her knee.

"Open the boarding ramps. Tell the kitchens to start the boilers. We’re not an army anymore. We’re a lifeboat." The final suspense of the book isn't a battle of swords, but a battle of Integration. For the next week, the Great Engine became the center of a new civilization. The "Soot-Stained" engineers of the North worked side-by-side with the "Porcelain" scholars of the South to build shelters and water-purifiers. Audrey and Lucas stood at the very front of the Great Engine as it began to move again. They weren't going back to the North, and they weren't staying in the South. They were heading West, toward the "Sea of Salt’s End," where the maps were blank.

We were the Authors of the Ordinary. "What now, Mommy?" Hope asked, leaning her head on my shoulder. I looked at the horizon, where the cracked moon was finally disappearing behind a bank of natural, grey clouds. "Now," I said, my voice warm and human. "We live the 192nd Chapter. And we don't worry about the Climax." The Audit is a Story. The Asset is a Memory. The North is Forever.

“I might enjoy that book and given what you like, you might too.” I said, smirking at him. “Love the Unexpected?” I asked, looking at him. “It’s about two people that were dealt a bad hand, but learned to love each other despite all that was against them. You were right when you told me I wouldn’t have picked you if it wasn’t for the mate bond. You have a mouth on you and you are a fighter. The Moon Goddess knew what she was doing when she gave me you. You were everything I didn’t know I needed. You have made me a better man. I’m proud to stand beside you. I’m so lucky to have you.”

"This is the High Council of the South. A collection of ageing men huddled in a room that smells of dying flowers and desperate lies." I walked slowly around the perimeter of the table, my boots clicking with a rhythmic, lethal precision. I felt their eyes following me, wide, dilated, and swimming with the primal realisation that their walls, their guards, and their titles were illusions. "I heard the announcement," I continued, my gaze sweeping over the Elders. They shivered as my shadow passed over them. "I heard that the South has decided to sever its ties with the North. I heard that you have chosen to bury your insults in the bed of a secretary and pretend that the debt you owe Northrea
