Chapter 79 Aftermath

• The fires took three hours to put out.
• Kaden worked alongside the pack wolves and Cassandra’s soldiers, hauling water from the river, beating out flames with wet blankets, pulling people from collapsed buildings. His hands were blistered and black with soot by the time the last ember died.
• Fifteen dead. Twenty-three wounded. Half the northern wall destroyed. A quarter of the settlement’s food stores lost to fire.
