Chapter 1027 Into Her Own Hands

• I can’t avoid the sunlight here. My skin prickles, but I ignore it, following Kenna down a long, narrow hallway in a building situated on the side of the palace that’s apparently open to the public. Healers in starched uniforms step out of rooms, pushing carts. Babies fuss, and voices murmur through open doors. Windows at either end of the hallway spill warm winter light tinged with silver as snow dances in a dizzying haze, which is my only salvation from the sun's effects.
