CHAPTER 59 I winnowed to a nearby rooftop, an ash arrow clenched in either hand, scanning where the Attor was high above, flapping— FEYRE. I slammed a mental shield of adamant up against that voice; against him. Not now. Not this moment. I could vaguely feel him pounding against that shield. Roaring at it. But […]

CHAPTER 58 We immediately returned to Velaris, not trusting the queens to go long without noticing the Book’s absence, especially if the vague mention of the sixth alluded to further foul play amongst them. Amren had the second half within minutes, not even bothering to ask about the meeting before she vanished into the dining […]

CHAPTER 57 Spring had at last dawned on the human world, crocuses and daffodils poking their heads out of the thawed earth. Only the eldest and the golden-haired queens came this time. They were escorted by just as many guards, however. I once again wore my flowing, ivory gown and crown of gold feathers, once […]

CHAPTER 56 Rhys winnowed us to the Illyrian camp. We wouldn’t be staying long enough to be at risk—and with ten thousand Illyrian warriors surrounding us on the various peaks, Rhys doubted anyone would be stupid enough to attack. We’d just appeared in the mud outside the little house when Cassian drawled from behind us, […]

CHAPTER 55 I watched him consume every spoonful, his eyes darting between where I stood and the soup. When he was done, he set down his spoon. “Aren’t you going to say anything?” he said at last. “I was going to tell you what I’d decided the moment I saw you on the threshold.” Rhys […]

CHAPTER 53 Mor stayed overnight, even going so far as to paint some rudimentary stick figures on the wall beside the storeroom door. Three females with absurdly long, flowing hair that all resembled hers; and three winged males, who she somehow managed to make look puffed up on their own sense of importance. I laughed […]

CHAPTER 52 There was a deep, sunken tub in the floor of the mountain cabin—large enough to accommodate Illyrian wings. I filled it with water near-scalding, not caring how the magic of this house operated, only that it worked. Hissing and wincing, I climbed in. Three days without a bath and I could have wept […]

PART THREE THE HOUSE OF MIST
Chapter no 52
CHAPTER 51 We slammed into freezing mud right outside the little stone house. I think he’d meant to winnow us into it, but his powers had given out. Across the yard, I spied Cassian—and Mor—at the window of the house, eating breakfast. Their eyes went wide, and then they were rushing for the door. “Feyre,” […]
