When I come to again, it’s dark. Faolán whines and licks my face. I hold onto her to steady myself and climb to my feet.
I hardly remember making it away from the bridge. Escaping Siren’s Reach is a blur.
It’s over. The gang is finished, but at least Bast got away. Maybe something good can still come from this mess. I don’t care about Duke or anyone else who survived. As far as I’m concerned, I’ve always been better off alone. It’s time to do what I should have before all this started.
I have a queen to kill.
