"You got us into this. Let’s make sure it works. No more improvising. From now on, you report to me. Everything. Understood?" "Crystal." Elena walked around her desk and opened the door, peeking out to make sure no one was listening. "We just started a war," she said. I nodded. "Then let’s finish it."

She pulled a clean white cloth from her belt and wrapped her bleeding hand, her face completely calm. "The oath is sealed," Elena said softly. "You are no longer rogues. You are the vanguard of my army." Thorak wiped his mouth with the back of his arm, a wild, dark grin spreading across his face. "When do we kill, Queen?" "Soon," Elena replied. "Rest tonight. Eat.
