Chapter 41 Barbaric Beauty

• Raven
• The morning sun had barely crested over the castle walls when Ember and I made our way to the training yard. I’d hardly slept at all last night, tossing and turning after my little late night run-in with Hannah. Ember was still watching me out of the corners of her eyes, clearly waiting for me to elaborate as to why I had woken her to help me build a barricade in the middle of the night.
• “Are you going to tell me what happened now?” she asked, tossing me a short practice sword for today’s session.
