Ilona AndrewsA massive beast dashed along the mountain apex. Astamur reached for his rifle. โA demon?โ โNo, not a demon.โ I might have preferred one . โThatโs my boyfriend.โ Atsany and the shepherd turned to look at me. โBoyfriend?โ Astamur said. Curran saw us. He paused on a stone crag and roared. The raw declaration of strength cracked through the mountains, rolling down the cliffs like a rockslide. โYep. Donโt worry. Heโs harmless.
Ilona AndrewsI shouldโve been furious, but for some reason I wasnโt. Maybe because I knew he was telling the truth. Maybe because Voron left me just like that, without the much-needed explanations. Maybe because things I had learned about him since his death had made me doubt everything heโd ever said to me. Whatever the case, I felt only a hollow, crushing sadness. How touching. I understood my adoptive fatherโs killer. Maybe after this was over, Hughโs head and I could sing โKumbayaโ together by the fire.
