Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass, #5)

by Sarah J. Maas

Aelin broke apart the temple reconstruction but left the stag in her palm, the wool deflating in the rain. Horses nickered as Aedion and Lysandra hauled them closer, but Aelin felt him a heartbeat before he emerged between the distant, night-veiled trees. Too far in the wood to be anything but a ghost, a figment of an ancient god’s dream.
