СКАЧАТЬ look into the trees, and that’s when I see it.

      A Dryad.

      The Forest Fae is camouflaged by the leaves, blending in perfectly with the last stand of brush and trees. Its skin is a pale, glimmering emerald, accenting its piercing forest-green eyes. Its black hair is tied back, revealing pointed ears, and it’s clad in armor made of leaves.

      They’re supposed to be extinct, wiped out years ago by the Kelts. But the figure before me is starkly real, looking just like a picture I once saw in one of Jules’s books. Except this Dryad is staring out at the charred landscape and weeping.

      Then it meets my gaze and narrows its eyes. Its hatred rocks through me, like venom coursing through my veins.

      I lift a weak, trembling finger toward the tendril of forest as we ride close.

      “A Dryad,” I weakly rasp out as the creature’s anger pounds against me. Then I blink, and the face is gone.

      But the echo of the Dryad’s fury remains.

       Chapter 11: Untethered

      I am unconscious and untethered, grasping in the black. Flailing, my center gone, the drawn-out lines of my affinity shattered.

      Stripped bare.

      I’m spiraling down into a bottomless void. Crying out into the nothing.

      Vale’s fire firmly grasps hold of me, and I hang on for dear life. His flames are tentative at first, then flare as he finds me, his heat burning hot and steady.

      I hang on, as if dangling off a cliff. Desperation courses through me.

      I hang on for Wren. For my grandfather. For Jules.

      I can’t die.

      Vale holds tight, his fire looped like a burning crown around my wrist.

      Конец ознакомительного фрагмента.
