Chapter 221
Cassius was stunned. He blinked several times, trying his best to look innocent. “Wh-who, who would ever seek to dethrone you, the rightful ruler, Queen Rona?”
Her eyes penetrated into his like two beams of light cast down from the heavens, though not ethereal in any way. “I’m not sure. But I believe there is someone. Perhaps you know.”
“I don’t know anything, my Queen. In fact, when I thought I saw the duke, I went to the guards, your guards. If I was in cahoots with your husband, why would I do such a thing?”
She had to ponder that for a moment, which seemed like a win to Cassius. But then, her line of questioning took a sharp turn for the worse. “Let me ask you this, Cassius. What if it is my daughter who seeks the crown before it is her time? What would you do then?”
“Princess Katrinetta?” He did his best to sound shocked. “Your Majesty, your daughter is completely loyal to

Kit sat in her prison cell far longer than she expected to before anyone brought the morning meal. When the soldier came in and set it down on the table near the window, he said nothing, certainly didn’t question how she’d managed to change gowns. That had been several hours ago. The uneaten porridge sat crusting over in the bowl, the core of an apple, the only food she’d eaten, lay next to it. She was glad to have her tea, the special blend Armant had her drinking several times a day while she was in the midst of her Choosing. Though it tasted a little bitter, and she had never much cared for it, at least it seemed like a bit of normal.Staring at specks she assumed were people was all she had found to entertain herself, and even then her mind often wandered to the ones she missed most, that and how she was supposed to incite a revolution when she couldn’t even leave the room. Footsteps on the stairs had her turning her head away from the window. Whoe

Kit’s eyes doubled in size. Cass was in the dungeon? Had he really been implicated in the revolt, or was this simply her mother’s way of getting him out of the picture? More tears slid down her cheeks as Kit fought to breathe. “That can’t be, Mother. You know he is loyal to you. He’s Grandmother’s favorite by far.”“And yet, when I asked him directly about his loyalty, he was defiant to my face, saying he no longer supported me as queen.”“But... who does he support then?” Kit asked, praying that her prying didn’t explode in her face. Just what did her mother know of their efforts?Rona looked pained. “A woman who currently resides in Antoinetta. She’s been making plans to claim the throne for years. You’ve inquired about the state of our citizenry, poor roads, poor pay, subpar living conditions. All of the crown’s funding has been used for years to keep her at bay, b

Once they arrived at Kit’s room, Vin ordered Kit’s guard out of the way so that he could set up shop outside of her door, but the princess didn’t wait for them to negotiate. Instead, she opened the door for herself and went in, barring it behind her.“Katrinetta!” Avinia flew at her, followed closely by Seph and Isla. The four of them stood with their arms around each other for several minutes, despite the confrontation happening on the other side of the door. “How are you?” Avinia took a step back and looked her cousin over. “Are you well?”“I’m fine.” Physically it was true. Kit glanced over her shoulder, just as she heard Galter demand his men be left at their station. Taking her cousins by the elbow, she led them away from the door, and Seph followed. “Have you heard from Cassius?”“No, he was sent for this morning, and he hasn’t returned.” Isla was biting h

Wrenbrook seemed almost as deep as it was wide as Kit followed Eli through secret passages, down winding stairwells, and through labyrinths so dark at times she couldn’t see her hand in front of her face. With Jate and Landon directly behind her, and Reeve following several steps behind them to make sure they were not being followed, she felt relatively safe for the moment. But the closer they got to the dungeon, the more Kit’s stomach sank as she thought about what she might discover there. The possibilities of an angry mob attacking her for the sins of her mother, or the guards alerting the queen of their insurrection, were both possibilities.The odor of mildew infiltrated her lungs as the floor evened out and they stopped descending. Then, another smell caught her attention. It could only be described as human waste mixed with the body odor of hundreds of people who had not been clean for some time, with notes of decay and rot. Kit tried not to gag; she didn&r

The darkness thickened around them as they went even deeper into the dungeon. “This is the first level,” Eli said in a low voice. They went around a corner and scores of prison cells came into view, all of them occupied with one or more captives, most of them men, and many only skin and bones. Some were chained to walls, others were free to roam around their small abodes. None of them were clean. Waste and garbage littered the ground everywhere Kit looked. It was wretched to say the least.“What could they have possibly done to deserve this?” she asked as eyes darted in their direction, followed by a shout or two.“Nothing,” Jate said behind her. “No one deserves to be treated this way.”“Unfortunately,” Eli said without turning his head, “it only gets worse from here.”At the end of the hallway, two more guards stood chatting. Kit heard them telling off-color jokes before they notice

The one who’d sworn his allegiance to the queen charged at Landon as the others gave a roar and moved forward as well. Landon overpowered him easily enough, knocking the sword from his hand and forcing him backward until he was nearly within reach of dozens of arms straining to lay their fingers on him. The guard held his hands up and waited as the others attempted to succeed where he had failed.Eli took on two of the guards at the same time, but neither was a match for his sword. Within seconds, one was bleeding from his right arm, and the other had a large gash in his side. They, too, dropped their weapons easily enough.One guard flew at Jate with his sword pointed at his gullet as another advanced from the other side. Jate blocked the quicker of the two but barely swung his weapon around in time to stop the second. Kit held her breath, wishing she’d taken the sword earlier after all so she could be of some help. Jate was kept busy with one man, then th

Opening the door to the cell had created an anxious moment for Kit. Even though the prisoners seemed to understand that they needed to wait to go out the back, Kit was alarmed that they might all rush the exit, their thirst for freedom overwhelming the logic that they’d still be trapped inside of Wrenbrook if they attempted to go that way. But when Eli swung the cell door open, no one made a move.In fact, the prisoners were as still and under control as Kit had seen them since she’d first laid eyes on The Wilderness. After a quick hug from Terrowin, whom she’d have to speak to later, when they were all safe, Kit began to make her way to the back of the cell where her former guard led her. She assumed he was taking her to Cassius. Along the way, she saw other familiar faces. Dullen’s red hair had grown down past his shoulders, and he was even thinner than he had been when they’d first met. He stepped forward and took Kit’s hand, briefly. Hi

Seeing the floor swallow him up was so unsettling, Kit forgot she was supposed to be counting. By the time she remembered, Landon and Reeve were behind her with Cassius. “You’ll be fine, Princess. We won’t let any harm befall you,” Reeve promised.Kit smiled at him, but she had no idea how that might be possible if she was falling through the ground, and he was here. “Be careful,” she warned. All three of them nodded, and then she positioned herself on the lip of the hole and slid down so that she was sitting on the edge.“We’ll see you soon,” Landon assured her.Kit didn’t pull her eyes off of the opening to acknowledge him. Instead, she counted to three, crossed her arms over her body, and moved off of the edge of the floor into nothingness.The drop was far steeper than she had imagined it would be. At first, she wasn’t even touching the floor of the shaft as she sped down into what seem
