CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN

MAEVYTH

A rms wrapped around my body to stave off the cold, I followed Zevander toward The Crone Witch’s cottage, gaze trailing over the empty pen that had once housed a number of animals. We padded quietly toward the front door, not wanting to startle her, if she happened to be inside. Zevander peered through the windows, at the darker end of the cabin, while I looked in on the hearth that blazed a glowing orange. The mere sight of it casted a shiver down my spine, my toes numb and throbbing in my meager shoes. No one seemed to be inside, at all, though.

While Zevander rounded the house, I quietly tiptoed to the door, noticing long lines of symbols that’d been carved into the wood. Frowning, I ran my finger over them. The moment my hand touched the knob, a sharp pointed object prodded my back.
