Chapter 71

• The Omega comes back, but not to save them.
• Theon Vale's voice was chill and heavy with a heart-stopping finality as he cried out in the room of the Council Hall. Rhea remained at the center of the Circle of Authority, bound with her hands, her body quivering with a mix of exhaustion and defiance. Theon sat upon his throne, his face a grim mask of power, his eyes fixed upon her like a predator.
• The corridor was filled with the scents of a thousand wolves. The atmosphere was thick with tension, with fear, with deep, abiding hatred. Her people, her pack, were there to see her judged. They were there to see her fall.
