Everything I’d been raised to believe seemed fragile. My father had asked me to trust him. I had trusted him. I did trust him. But… Could I betray the Turans? No. No, I couldn’t. Even with the uncertainty about the coming migration. Even facing Ramsey. I couldn’t betray Tillia or Luella or Cathlin or Zavier. I couldn’t betray Ransom. He might not trust me. But somewhere along the way, he’d earned my loyalty.
