Summary
On the very same sand that he’d once paced, dreading his country’s fate, Xaden now gets to sit with his wife, cradling their youngest daughter in his lap. Their older children play in the same waves where terrified Aretians had once hid from the invaders, their laughter and bickering carried by the wind, lobbing chunks of seaweed at one another and improvising sword fights with spare driftwood.
It’s picturesque, almost too good to be true.
Often Xaden will open his eyes, convinced it was all a wonderful dream and he’ll awake to the cold reality of his life, some indiscernible period in the dark years between his father’s execution and the fall of the venin — only to be relieved by Violet’s sleepy smile or the patter of small feet or an indignant shriek in the dialect he was never permitted to use himself as a boy, outside of closed doors.

Summary
It had meant something worse.
It had meant the worst possible thing a woman could be in war.
The three of you all owe me, she whispers to the congregation of dragons that are a constant witness to her own thoughts. Her hands are trembling as she disposes of the draught into the trampled grass; she’s light headed, and fairly convinced she’ll shortly throw her guts up. Or pass out. Or both. None of us can tell Xaden.
