Tested By the Night (2015)
“Two hundred and sixty-four steps from Talon and two hundred and sixty-four steps from the place she’d left her breaking heart.
But Princess Amelia Zoe Cassidy Hammerstrike opened the front entrance and took step two hundred and sixty-five. She’d purposefully set this plan in motion, and all the tears, heartache, and grief in Albrath wouldn’t make her turn back now.
The sun chose that very moment to cast its first rays upon her face, as if this were any other day, and Mia lifted her eyes toward ...the sky, breathed in a lung full of crisp morning air, and took step two hundred and sixty-six. She could do this. She knew she could. This moment was what she’d been born for, what she’d been raised for, her destiny, and she would face it with dignity, honor, and grace, and she would face it alone.
Or so she thought.
The sound of a horse’s whiny was the very first indication she perhaps wasn’t quite alone after all. And that’s when she looked, really looked toward the growing light illuminating the castle’s inner bailey and gasped.MoreLess
