Chapter no 3
CHAPTER THREE Xaden can sense them. My fingernails bend slightly when my hand flexes along the grout line, holding on for dear life as my mind spins. But just because he can sense them doesn’t mean he gave up part of his soul, right? It’s there in his eyes, watching me, waiting for me to […]
Chapter no 14
CHAPTER 14 I had not let myself imagine it: the moment I’d again stand in the wood- paneled foyer of the town house. When I’d hear the song of the gulls soaring high above Velaris, smell the brine of the Sidra River that wended through the heart of the city, feel the warmth of the […]
Chapter no 2
CHAPTER TWO “They’re within the walls!” Tairn bellows. “Already figured that out.” I swap my daggers for two alloy-hilted ones at my thighs and move quickly to hand one to Sawyer. “None of us die today.” He nods, taking the blade by the hilt. “Maren, protect Sawyer,” Rhiannon orders. “Cat, help whoever you can. Let’s […]
Chapter no 13
CHAPTER 13 “Run,” Lucien breathed. I didn’t dare take my eyes off his brothers. Not as Eris lowered that hand to the frozen edge of the lake. “Run where, exactly?” Flesh met ice and steam rippled. The ice went opaque, thawing in a line that shot for us— We ran. The slick ice made for […]
Chapter no 1
CHAPTER ONE Two weeks later Flying in January should be a violation of the Codex. Between the howling storm and the incessant fog in my goggles, I can’t see shit as we cut through the blustering snow squall above the mountains near Basgiath. Hoping we’re almost through the worst of it, I grip the pommels […]
Chapter no 12
CHAPTER 12 “Father,” the one now holding a knife to my throat said to Lucien, “is rather put out that you didn’t stop by to say hello.” “We’re on an errand and can’t be delayed,” Lucien answered smoothly, mastering himself. That knife pressed a fraction harder into my skin as he let out a humorless […]
Prologue
PROLOGUE Where in Malek’s name is he going? I hurry through the tunnels beneath the quadrant, trying to follow, but night is the ultimate shadow and Xaden blends seamlessly into the darkness. If it wasn’t for our dragons’ bond leading me in his general direction and the sporadic disappearance of mage lights, I’d never think […]
Chapter no 11
CHAPTER 11 The cold was what hit me first. Brisk, crisp cold, laced with loam and rotting things. In the twilight, the world beyond the narrow cave mouth was a latticework of red and gold and brown and green, the trees thick and old, the mossy ground strewn with rocks and boulders that cast long […]
Chapter no 10
CHAPTER 10 Brannagh ran her fingers through Ianthe’s golden hair, clicking her tongue at the bloodied pulp cradled in her lap. “Going somewhere, Feyre?” I let my mask drop. “I have places to be,” I told the Hybern royals, noting the flanking positions they were too casually establishing around me. “What could be more important […]
Chapter no 9
CHAPTER 9 Ianthe wasn’t done. I knew it—braced myself for it. She didn’t flit back to her temple a few miles away. Rather, she remained at the house, seizing her chance to worm her way closer to Tamlin. She believed she’d gained a foothold, that her declaration of justice served at the bloody end of […]
