For all those who never stop seeking. I know I never will.
He was no willowy creature of fairytale. He was massive, looming, and oh so very real.
It was Leofwin’s betrayal that stung the most. Though soon his would feel like nothing, not compared to the one that came next.
“I know you don’t like Nerys, but it’s not entirely her fault you know. She didn’t ask to have to deal with you.” “To have to deal with me?”
“You see, girl,” he continued, “the lord here and I made a deal. He’s no longer able to fulfill his end of the bargain, so in exchange, he’s offered me you.”

“I’m not your friend, Delphine.” Any hope that Caldamir’s resolve might fade disappeared with his final words before he dragged me, surrounded by guards pouring in at all sides, to my feet and toward the door at the back. “I’m your enemy. I think it’s time both of us remembered that.”
