Never Keep (Sins of the Zodiac #1)

CHAPTER THIRTY TWO

T here’s a legend carved into the walls of the Astral Sanctuary in Wrathbane. A place perched on a flying island all of its own, hidden in the sky surrounded by clouds and placed as close to the stars as any Fae can get. It whispers of a love so powerful it broke the world. Cracked it in two and then two again until the four continents of The Waning Lands were forged from the forgotten remnants of what came before.

It says that Layetaa, a cunning and beautiful fire born girl was due to marry Rishan, the prince of the earth lands. But one day, a foul wind caused a ship captained by the water warrior, Alrier, to wreck upon the shores of Layetaa’s home.

Alrier was betrothed to Kiana, the heir of the air nation, a Fae beloved by her people for both her bravery and the sacrifices she had made for the welfare of her nation which had led to her face becoming scarred beyond recognition. Though the purity of her soul shone through all the brighter for her scars.
