  44. ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Again, Aidan didn’t know and he didn’t think he wanted to. Strange things could sometimes give him nightmares and he’d rather sleep well.

Keita walked past the bodies, studying each one carefully before facing Brannie.

“I don’t know them.”

“But they’re here for you. For us.”

She put her hands on her hips and again looked at those sent to kill them all. “We need a new boat. Another way to get to the Eastlands.”

Aidan understood. Everything they’d already planned was suspect now. Someone wanted to stop Keita from making this trip.

“You need boat,” Zoya said. “We get boat.” She patted Keita’s head. “Do not worry, tiny weak female. The Daughters of the Steppes will protect you.”

The Riders began hauling the bodies to an alley so they wouldn’t be found for a while, and Brannie immediately moved to her cousin’s side.

“Keita—”

Keita raised her hand. “No, no. I have seen the benefit of having the Riders around. And I have no intention of killing any of them . . . until we’re done. If we survive, then I’ll kill them all.”

“Not Kachka,” Brannie reminded her, giving her cousin a short hug. “I’ll never hear the end of it from Celyn.”

“Fair enough.”

Chapter Nineteen

Chapter Nineteen

To protect Keita, only the Riders went to the Port City docks to find a boat that could take them to the Eastlands. The rest of them stayed well inside the city in a back alley, all of them surrounding Keita’s tiny human form.

She was very tense the entire time, pacing and constantly scratching the back of her neck. The She-dragon wanted to know who was trying to stop her trip if it wasn’t the Zealots. Who was willing to kill the entire party just to stop her?

Since Aidan didn’t know who was on Keita’s vast list of connections, he couldn’t help. All he could do was stand guard with Brannie and his Mì-runach brethren until Kachka returned to them.

“Zoya found boat,” she told them, motioning the group out of the alley.

They moved quickly, aware the two suns were beginning to dawn in the sky.

Reaching the dock, they hastened past the fishermen heading to their own boats and the merchants and fishmongers who were already setting up their stalls for the day.

“There,” Kachka said, pointing at a Northland-type ship docked in the harbor. It was bigger than Aidan expected, round shields lining the outside of the boat for, Aidan guessed, easy access during a fight.

They stopped by a load of crates that would be placed on another boat heading out. Zoya stood on the dock between the boat and the crates. She studied the area closely before she motioned for them all to come forward.
