Chapter 110

• Zeke returned to his senses the moment Ava’s pain turned off like a switch.
• He would have thought she was dead if he hadn’t sensed her calm, almost content emotions instead.
• The ring was destroyed to shreds all around him, and his body was cut up in several places where he had smashed into the magical barrier and the ring. He ignored the blood and the pain as he walked around the damage he had done. The witches were still chanting, but they were sitting down now, breathless and their heads lolling to their sides. Instead of three, there were six now, and they were slumped against each other to maintain contact instead of holding hands. They had drained themselves. It looked like they’d had to reinforce their barriers constantly.
