Lady for Embers (Lady of Darkness #4)

Chapter 6

Callan

C allan Solgard sat on one of the steps descending from the quarterdeck, watching Sorin and Eliza spar with Drake and Cassius. Rayner and Cyrus were monitoring, coaching the non-Fae on adjustments to make. They’d been on this ship for over two weeks. It had been ?ve days since Scarlett and Cassius had appeared on the back of a dragon. Not the shadow dragon she liked to conjure, but an honest-to-the-gods dragon.

Tava had taken his younger sister, Eva, to another ship to spend time with some of the children. Eva had been banging on the door of his cabin before the sun had risen. Tava had been with her, apologizing profusely for waking them. It was good for Eva. After everything she had been through, everything she had witnessed. She’d hardly spoken for an entire week after they had watched Alaric slit the throats of their parents. They’d ?ed to the Black Halls with the Fae before Briar had moved them to the House of Water, and Callan hadn’t left his sister’s side that entire week. Tava had brought them food, water, whatever they’d needed.
