The Twiceborn Queen (The Proving book 2)
“He’d cried himself to sleep in my arms, but woke again with the movement and started crying again.
“Where are you going?” he asked as I set him down on my bed. He grabbed at me, desperation in his panicked grip. “Don’t leave me!”

The message inside was terse.MoreLess
