I remember this bastard very well because he was the most loyal shadow to the king and queen and still is to Minerva. I need to stay away from him. He reached closer to me and stood still.

The path led us through a section of dense trees before suddenly opening to a hidden outcropping high on the ridge. The intimate spot was naturally concealed by tall rock formations on three sides, but opened to a breathtaking panoramic view of all of Shadowlight Lake below.
