AS THE FRIGID air whips around us, my horse’s gait becomes unsteady.
The thick fur cloak around my neck is pulled taut over my mouth and
nose, so tight that I struggle to breathe through it. Regardless, the air burns
my lungs with its icy kiss and the cold seeps into my bones.
Our party of ten soldiers, two of my cousins, and myself is moving slower
than ever before, and even being Unseelie high fae of the Southern Lands,
born and bred in the ice and snow, we struggle across the frozen plains.
I can’t hear anything over the roar of the wind, and all that I can see in
front of me is the blank canvas of flurries as the ice storm rages around us as
though it were created by the rage of the Fates themselves.
Tyton, my cousin and a prince of the realms, set us on this path this
morning. The magic in his blood is stronger than anyone else’s, and he
assured me, when we came through the fae door—a relic of high fae magic
that helps us cut through the kingdom in moments rather than days—that we
could make it through the storm. He was sure it wouldn’t outlast us so long as
we guided our horses to keep putting one hoof in front of the other through
the thick of it. We’ll get through this.
His eyes had glowed a little brighter when he spoke, and I’d known that it
wasn’t just a belief, it was the solid truth of the Fates speaking through him.
But now, looking around at the mess we’re in, I have my doubts. The
objective of our journey is worth the risks to me though. I will do anything to
prove my suspicion that treason is taking place.
I glance over my shoulder, but visibility is so bad that I can’t even do a
headcount of our scouting group. I can’t see beyond my cousins, who flank
either side of me a half step back in a formation that displays their respect for
me as the true and rightful king.
One without my crown.
