A better world. With no gods, no fates.
A world of their own making.
Aelin bellowed and bellowed, the sound
ringing out across all worlds.
They would not beat her. They would not
get to take this, this most essential kernel of
self. Of soul.
Once upon a time, in a land long since
burned to ash, there lived a young princess
who loved her kingdom....
Her kingdom. Her home. She would see it
again.
It was not over.
Behind her, the archway slowly sealed.
The odds were slim; the odds were
insurmountable. She had not been destined to
escape this—to reach this point and still be
breathing.
Aelin’s hand drifted to her heart and rested
there.
