Summary
Nyx heard a coughing sound above the gnashing of the sea, and opened her eyes to see a bakkie coming up the drive. She pulled her scattergun from her back. Placed it in her lap.
The driver cut the juice to the bugs. The coughing and hissing in the cistern stopped.
The driver’s door opened.
“I’m retired,” Nyx said – to the ocean, to the air, to Nasheen, to her visitor – and looked towards the bakkie door as it opened.
She blinked. Wondered if she had finally lost it.
Rhys stood, one unfitting hand resting on the door, one clenched by his side. He didn’t say anything, just looked at her.

Starts directly where the last book ends. Rhys is the one in the bakkie.
