She leapt forward, chanting her Dream Sovereign song in a fierce whisper: > “By star and fang, by blood and bone, > We claim the throne you stole by stone. > Your crown of lies, now overthrown, > Falls to dust beneath the true heir’s own.” Lucien roared in unison, wolf-pulse crashing through the dais’s pylons.
