Excerpt :
Kelven jabbed at the red embers of the cook fire, their glow barely
cutting through the hazy night. The stench of Anu pressed against him like a
decaying hide. He and several of his Northern comrades had woven themselves
through the city that day, searching for a way across the bridge and inside the
castle walls. Somewhere inside, Lia and Wynn awaited their fate.
“Lia.” Her name slipped through his lips. She was spirited like a wild
filly, recklessly loyal to her family, and impossibly skilled in herb crafts.
And she had fascinated him from the moment he met her several years ago at
Wynn’s.
He gazed up at the castle, the cold towers shrouded in darkness and
fog. His insides tugged with the same guilt he’d struggled with ever since the
royal sages had arrived in Rockberg. Lia’s father, Dylan, and Wynn’s father,
Finn, had reassured him he’d done the right thing by fleeing to the hills with
the Grimoire, Wynn’s enchanted shield, and the remaining bottles of
Brume’s elixir. Kelven knew that hiding the precious items served a vital
purpose, but an unshakable shame lingered in his heart for leaving his friends
to face the royal sages without him. He should have been there, standing
alongside them, offering whatever support he could.
