    Summary

    There is a tale the young maidens of the kingdom tell, gathered together at the river’s edge, washing clothes against the rocks. It goes this way – once there was a woman who had something taken from her by a foolish, deceitful man. The loss grew within her until it was a thorn in her side, silver and sharp, stealing her breath as fast as she could gasp it. There was only one girl in the entire kingdom with hands small enough to slip between her ribs and pull it free.

    Summary

    Over the careful cultivation of years, she has learned to appreciate the pearls she can make, even if she’s the only one who knows they’re there. And they are real to her, the jewels of her tongue, invisible strands wrapping her throat, tighter and tighter as they ascend.

    It’s so effortless for her, now.

    (A little something for Kairi, small and sad)

    Her friends think her naïve, Merrill knows, for listening to a spirit’s whispers and spilling her blood to fuel her magic.

    Summary

    "I killed her," the sniper whispers, voice like venom, cold as her hands clasped tightly around Fareeha's neck. "Your mother."

    Fareeha tries not to protest, not to panic. Even if, after all these years, she gives in and refutes the lie for a split second, it will be the truth. If she lets it show on her face, her mother gets made. Ana will be dead again, for good, and it will be on Fareeha's own head this time.

    (or, Ana Amari fakes her death, and her daughter carries the weight of her decision)
