Chapter Forty-One - continued Camille rushed around the tower, following Kyanan and the other fae to what they said was the door. They looked like they knew where they were going; how, she had no idea. But, if they were headed for the door, she wanted to be there when her sister emerged. Adrian was … Continue reading Sisters of String and Glass, Part 160

Chapter Forty-One - continued Adrian’s gaze was hard as he studied Madeline and Ephraim, the two kneeling before him. The ever resourceful Violet had fetched rope from Olidan Manor to tie them up.

She was just happy no one had seemed to notice. It was excruciating waiting for Kyanan, but she finally arrived long … Continue reading Sisters of String and Glass, Part 154
