The town of Warich burned in the distance. The fires had only grown
as they’d slipped away from the death and chaos, sailing down the
river that cut through Meru. The Pillars were putting their fearsome
might on display for all to see, sending a message that would rock the very
foundations of five kingdoms for years to come.
But Eira’s focus wasn’t on the distant carnage. Or the fact that the boat
that she had escaped on with her friends was presently sailing in the
opposite direction of where they had been intending to go. Or the countless
pains that were still setting in following their frenzied flight from the
coliseum.
None of that mattered.
The entire world had condensed in a second, reduced to the woman
standing before her.
She was about Eira’s height and also of narrow frame. Hair as fine as
moonbeams and nearly the same platinum shade cascaded over her
shoulders, perfectly straight and catching the slightest breezes as if she were
some kind of ethereal specter. Eyes the same color as the ice in the deep
mountains narrowed slightly as she tilted her head back, looking down her
nose.
“Hello, Eira.”
All Eira could do was croak in response. She opened and closed her
mouth, several times, but no words formed. Her mind was empty—a void

“Nothing to say before you die?” A slight smirk stretched across the
woman’s face, curling thin lines into her cheeks, as though this particular
expression of smug confidence was one she had repeated thousands of
times, to the point that it was forever etched onto her visage.
“You—you’re…”
The woman’s gaze shifted slightly, looking over Eira’s shoulder. Eira
had completely forgotten Ducot was just behind her at the helm. “They
always blubber, don’t they?”
Whatever reaction Ducot had wasn’t vocal, so Eira missed it.
“You’re Adela,” Eira whispered, finally mustering two thoughts
together.
“Yes.” Adela shifted her grip on the cane. It was made of ice, the same
as her right arm and left leg, judging from the icy boot that extended out
from beneath her pant leg. “I know who I am. But the real question is, do
you know who you are?”
Before Eira could respond, Adela moved. It wasn’t sudden, or quick.
She practically strolled across the deck to cover the gap between them. But
Eira didn’t even try to flee. She just…watched as the deadly woman who
