Chapter 22 Blackwater Ridge

• The journey to Blackwater Ridge took two days. By the third day, I spotted the war camp at dawn.
• *Finally, Emogen sighed inside me.* Blackwater Ridge. *I can smell all the fight. It’s been too long, Seraphine.*
• Blackwater Ridge stood as our kingdom's last major defensive position. Beyond it lay the Northern Front, now overtaken by enemy forces. Our armies had retreated here, establishing a base camp where they could regroup and plan their counterattack.
