Chapter 32
Fenrir's steps were measured as he moved through the palace halls, though his thoughts were anything but. Barong's words lingered like a shadow at his shoulder, or in the spymaster’s case, a crow. The game. Hidden eyes and smiling faces concealing sharpened knives were testi...

Chapter 37
“This is a mistake, Sub-Zero.” Smoke's voice was barely louder than the wind that drifted through the palace courtyard, yet the warning carried enough weight to make Sub-Zero pause. His grey eyes never rested in one place, studying the towering walls, the battlements above, th...

Chapter 20: The Edenian and the Nephilim. “I hate sand,” Fenrir muttered as he dragged his boots through the coarse, wind-bitten ground. He looked over the endless stretch of pale dunes and shattered stone, squinting beneath the merciless Edenian sun. “Seriously, how do you en...

Chapter 40
“Fenrir!” Jade’s voice rang through the chamber above and echoed down into the darkness below. She leaned over the broken opening in the floor, gripping the edge hard enough that her knuckles whitened, as though she might physically drag him back up with sheer will alone. “Fenrir...
