Chapter no 8
CHAPTER EIGHT Being arrested for treason doesn’t exactly come as a shock, but Colonel Aetos delivering the accusation is a blow I didn’t see coming. “Dad?” Dain stands. Aetos’s head swivels toward Dain, and his mouth twists into a sneer. “I have no son.” I gasp, and hurt flashes across Dain’s face before he schools […]
Chapter no 19
CHAPTER 19 It was a good thing I’d insisted on meeting Cassian at eight, because even though I awoke at dawn, one look at Rhysand’s sleeping face had me deciding to spend the morning slowly, sweetly waking him up. I was still flushed by the time Rhys dropped me at the sparring ring atop the […]
Chapter no 7
CHAPTER SEVEN “Iwant to be on the quest squad,” Ridoc whispers at my side as we cross the enclosed bridge to the Healer Quadrant, my heart strangely steady considering what we’re about to do. “For the last time, there’s no quest squad,” Rhi hisses at him as the bells announce midnight’s arrival, muffling the sound […]
Chapter no 18
CHAPTER 18 “Please don’t say we need to go to the Court of Nightmares,” Cassian grumbled around a mouthful of food. Rhys lifted a brow. “Not in the mood to terrorize our friends there?” Mor’s golden face paled. “You mean to ask my father to fight in this war,” she said to Rhys. I reined […]
Chapter no 6
CHAPTER SIX “You dare—” Aura turns to fully face me, yanking off her other glove. “I dare.” I lift my open palms skyward, and heat streaks along my arms as I release a wave of power, forcing it upward and letting it go. Lightning splits the sky, flashing bright above our heads and branching outward […]
Chapter no 17
CHAPTER 17 I let Cassian carry me to the House two hours later, just because he admitted he was still working to strengthen his wings and needed to push himself. Heat rippled off the tiled roofs and red stone as we soared high over them, the sea breeze a cool kiss against my face. We’d […]
Chapter no 5
CHAPTER FIVE Afew hours later, I’m pretty sure this has been the longest day of my entire life. The gathering hall is less than a quarter full and the perfect place to wait for news, so that’s what the three of us do while Sawyer naps and the first-years tour with the fliers: sit—with […]
Chapter no 16
CHAPTER 16 Rhysand silently led Lucien to the suite he’d be occupying at the opposite end of the House of Wind. Cassian and I trailed behind, none of us speaking until my mate opened a set of onyx doors to reveal a sunny sitting room carved from more red stone. Beyond the wall of windows, […]
Chapter no 4
CHAPTER FOUR Ishake my head at the two subtle marks. “That’s nothing. It’s barely there.” And his eyes look exactly the same from this distance. Whatever he did wasn’t even close to what had happened during the battle. “Because I stopped.” He climbs off the far side of the bed and retreats until the backs […]
Chapter no 15
CHAPTER 15 My sisters had been living in the House of Wind since they’d arrived in Velaris. They did not leave the palace built into the upper parts of a flat-topped mountain overlooking the city. They did not ask for anything, or anyone. So I would go to them. Lucien was waiting in the sitting […]
