BOOK 2 PREVIEW: SILA THE RED

  The mountain is a kiln of silence, and Aethel is the clay.

  Bound in a mocking embrace at the heart of the Council Chamber, Aethel is no longer a hero—she is a witness. Sila the Red isn't just telling her story; she is bleeding it into the room.

  As the "Aurora wicks" burn and the hallucinogenic smoke rises, the past becomes a physical weight. Aethel watches, horrified, as invisible blows from a spectral father strike Sila down, turning the monster into a "bird with wet feathers."

  In the dark, the lines between victim and tormentor begin to blur. Aethel feels a bitter, burning empathy for the woman who holds her chains. Against every instinct of survival, she finds herself wanting to shield the monster from its own ghosts.

  While Kael and his crew race through the crumbling tunnels to find her, Aethel must survive the greatest threat of all: Sila’s memory.
