      Chapter 38

      Chapter 38 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 38 Amren took the Book to wherever it was she lived in Velaris, leaving the five of us to eat. While Rhys told them of our visit to the Summer Court, I managed to scarf down breakfast before the exhaustion of staying up all night, unlocking those doors, and very nearly dying hit me. When I awoke, the house was empty, the afternoon sunlight warm and golden, and the day so unusually warm and lovely that I brought a book down to the small garden in the back. The sun eventually shifted, shading the…

      Chapter 39

      Chapter 39 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 39 “Do you think you can decode it once we get the other half?” I said to Amren, lingering by the front door of her apartment the next afternoon. She owned the top floor of a three-story building, the sloped ceiling ending on either side in a massive window. One looked out on the Sidra; the other on a tree-lined city square. The entire apartment consisted of one giant room: the faded oak floors were covered in equally worn carpets, furniture was scattered about as if she constantly moved it…

      Chapter 40

      Chapter 40 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 40 The mortal queens were a mixture of age, coloring, height, and temperament. The eldest of them, clad in an embroidered wool dress of deepest blue, was brown-skinned, her eyes sharp and cold, and unbent despite the heavy wrinkles carved into her face. The two who appeared middle-aged were opposites: one dark, one light; one sweet-faced, one hewn from granite; one smiling and one frowning. They even wore gowns of black and white—and seemed to move in question and answer to each other. I…

      Chapter 41

      Chapter 41 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 41 We were mostly silent during the flight and winnowing to Velaris. Amren was already waiting in the town house, her clothes rumpled, face unnervingly pale. I made a note to get her more blood immediately. But rather than gather in the dining or sitting room, Rhys strolled down the hall, hands in his pockets, past the kitchen, and out into the courtyard garden in the back. The rest of us lingered in the foyer, staring after him—the silence radiating from him. Like the calm before a…

      Chapter 42

      Chapter 42 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 42 I was not frightened. Not of the role that Rhys had asked me to play today. Not of the roaring wind as we winnowed into a familiar, snow-capped mountain range refusing to yield to spring’s awakening kiss. Not of the punishing drop as Rhys flew us between the peaks and valleys, swift and sleek. Cassian and Azriel flanked us; Mor would meet us at the gates to the mountain base. Rhys’s face was drawn, his shoulders tense as I gripped them. I knew what to expect, but … even after he’d told…

      Chapter 43

      Chapter 43 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 43 The wind roared around Rhys and me as he winnowed from the skies above his court. But Velaris didn’t greet us. Rather, we were standing by a moonlit mountain lake ringed in pine trees, high above the world. We’d left the court as we’d come in—with swagger and menace. Where Cassian, Azriel, and Mor had gone with the orb, I had no idea. Alone at the edge of the lake, Rhys said hoarsely, “I’m sorry.” I blinked. “What do you possibly have to be sorry for?” His hands were…

      Chapter 44

      Chapter 44 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 44 But despite the letter, despite the mess between us, as I gaped at the mirror an hour later, I couldn’t quite believe what stared back.I had been so relieved these past few weeks to be sleeping at all that I’d forgotten to be grateful that I was keeping down my food.The fullness had come back to my face, my body. What should have taken weeks longer as a human had been hurried along by the miracle of my immortal blood. And the dress …I’d never worn anything like it, and doubted I’d…

      Chapter 45

      Chapter 45 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 45 The Illyrian war-camp deep in the northern mountains was freezing.Apparently, spring was still little more than a whisper in the region.Mor winnowed us all in, Rhysand and Cassian flanking us.We had danced. All of us together. And I had never seen Rhys so happy, laughing with Azriel, drinking with Mor, bickering with Cassian. I’d danced with each of them, and when the night had shifted toward dawn and the music became soft and honeyed, I had let Rhys take me in his arms and dance with me,…

      Chapter 46

      Chapter 46 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 46 I was so cold I might never be warm again. Even during winter in the mortal realm, I’d managed to find some kernel of heat, but after nearly emptying my cache of magic that afternoon, even the roaring hearth fire couldn’t thaw the chill around my bones. Did spring ever come to this blasted place? “They pick these locations,” Cassian said across from me as we dined on mutton stew around the table tucked into the corner of the front of the stone house. “Just to ensure the strongest…

      Chapter 47

      Chapter 47 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin CHAPTER 47 If I wanted to escape, I could either face the stream or face them. But Lucien … His red hair was tied back, and there wasn’t a hint of finery on him: just armored leather, swords, knives … His metal eye roamed over me, his golden skin pale. “We’ve been hunting for you for over two months,” he breathed, now scanning the woods, the stream, the sky. Rhys. Cauldron save me. Rhys was too far back, and— “How did you find me?” My steady, cold voice wasn’t one I recognized.…
