He had done it with his own hands. With his own breath. With his own voice, saying take care of her, and meaning not only the words themselves, but all that lay beneath them. Because I cannot. His hold on her loosened. She was looking up at him, her lips parted. He watched her feel the change in him before he ever spoke it. Watched the slight alteration in her face, the quick gathering of herself\u2014and then she stepped back.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you\u2026\u201d Her eyes moved over him, quick and searching. \u201cAre you all right?\u201d A laugh slipped out of him before he could stop it, small and dry. \u201cI\u2019ve been better.\u201d Her face tightened. \u201cI saw,\u201d she said at once. \u201cBefore this. I was somewhere else first\u2014a tent.\u201d Her breath caught. \u201cYou were on the ground. There was so much blood. I tried to get to you and I couldn\u2019t. I went through a woman, I think, and I was\u2014I don\u2019t know what I was.\u201d<\/p>\n

She shook her head, and a curl slipped loose against her cheek. \u201cBut I saw you. And then I was here.\u201d Elara\u2019s hand went to the bloodstone, closing around it. \u201cIt\u2019s still connecting us,\u201d she said. \u201cI think. It\u2019s stronger now\u2014with you in front of me.\u201d She wet her lips. He watched her do it and looked away. \u201cThis place showed me\u2014your body, Bryn and Dario working on you. You were barely holding on.\u201d \u201cDario was helping? That must\u2019ve been\u2026harrowing for him.\u201d<\/p>\n

She tipped her head, a brief spark lighting in her eyes. For a moment, she looked as though she might ask what lay beneath that\u2014between her old friend and her\u2026 Whatever Ivan was to her now. But she let the question die. Her gaze had already dropped, tracing the line of his chest, his side.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re bleeding now,\u201d she said. \u201cWhile you\u2019re standing here.\u201d Ivan looked down at his hands and flexed them once. They were clean. No blood marked them. And yet he could almost sense it elsewhere all the same, hot and slow beneath skin that was not wholly with him in this place. \u201cHighly likely,\u201d he said. She took a step toward him, then checked herself with a small, catching breath.<\/p>\n

The distance between them was little. Barely any space at all. And yet it held everything that had come between them. \u201cWhen I first traveled here,\u201d she said, \u201cI was hurt as well. But I don\u2019t think it was the blood.\u201d Her hand stayed closed around the stone. \u201cI think there was a current. The bloodstone answered it somehow.<\/p>\n

Or strengthened it. Something did.\u201d He fixed his eyes on her. \u201cA current?\u201d \u201cPossibly through the oath,\u201d she said, thinking aloud now, the way she always did when she was close to some answer she couldn\u2019t prove. \u201cI think the bloodstone is still carrying some part of it. And your current in the Void may have given the vow something to cling to.\u201d She hesitated.<\/p>\n

Larson-Burnett OceanofPDF.com For anyone who has ever felt trapped by the story written for them. May you find the courage to write your own. OceanofPDF.com Author\u2019s note Dear Reader, Before you turn the first page of Fate So Cruelly Bound, I wanted to offer a quick note on language. Throughout the book, italicized dialogue indicates a language shift from the scene\u2019s primary language: T\u00edrr\u00edsh in Latheria and Latherian in T\u00edr na n\u00d3g.<\/p>\n

I also want to let you know that this book travels deeper into the darker corners of Elara\u2019s world. There is love here, and loyalty, and moments of tenderness\u2014but there is also pain. The story contains scenes and themes that may be difficult for some readers, including graphic violence, gore, blood, torture, captivity, war, grief, trauma, emotional and physical abuse, manipulation, magical possession and\/or loss of bodily autonomy, blood magic, dark magic, ritualistic practices, injury detail, death of loved ones, soul harvesting, mental distress, panic, and references to harm involving children.<\/p>\n

Please take care of yourself as you read. Step away when you need to. Skip pages if you have to. No story is worth sacrificing your peace for, and I would much rather you experience this book in a way that feels safe for you. Thank you for returning to this world and to these characters. After spending so long living alongside them, it is a joy to finally place the next part of their journey in your hands.<\/p>\n

I hope you find something in these pages that breaks your heart a little, mends it gently, and reminds you that even in the cruelest places, light can still find a way through. With all my love and respect, J.M. Grosvalet OceanofPDF.com OceanofPDF.com Chapter 1 Elara ran because running was easier than thinking.<\/p>\n

Easier than remembering. They moved in tandem. A whisper of motion through the trees. Driven only forward. This was Turlaith land, Reynnar had said that first night. Deep in the savage wilds of T\u00edr na n\u00d3g. And they were trespassing. The moss-drenched ground absorbed the thud of Elara\u2019s footsteps, cushioning her flight but never easing the ache in her chest. She barely registered the scrape of branches against her arms or the damp fingers of fog that coiled possessively around her ankles. It didn\u2019t matter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
