Opening
Nine years of fragile truce between our clans—and my boneheaded mistake could tear it all apart.
“Lycki, stop!” My voice cracked, hoarse with panic.
But my little brother’s green tunic and blond hair slipped through the conifer branches ahead, his distant voice floating back to me. “Come on, Älva! I found snowdrops!”
Wonderful, we were about to start a war over flowers.
Gut twisting, I burst into a sprint—past the overgrown sign nailed to a pine, ominous runes carved deep into the wood: ‘Hult Territory.’
