Fawke sent me a quick glance, then focused on the path in front of us. His features looked carved in stone, his brow furrowed.
One of the group behind us, cleared their throat.
At the forest edge, I called a halt. “I’ll take first watch.” Might as well get back into routine.
“I’ll join you.” Fawke stayed by my side.
I gazed across the wide meadow at the tops of the buildings rising in the distance. My stomach rebelled, and I vomited in the weeds.
“City of death, here we come,” Ezra muttered.
I couldn’t think of a better description for what waited ahead.
Don’t miss the next book, The Hunt, Coming Soon.
