A Willing Sacrifice
Separated from her brothers during a raider attack on their archipelago, Scilla must put her life on the line for a chance to save them when attempting to bargain with an ancient demon.
Behind her, the screams still rode the ocean breeze as the town and port—and every single one of the islanders’ ships—burned in the late afternoon. Would the wretched cries be enough to awaken the Beast?
More tears blurred her sight.
Maybe the raiders’ ships heading south weren’t going to Angel’s Sigh, her island home. And if they were, maybe her brothers would be out playing in the woods, Rion chasing rabbits while Markon chased after him. Maybe the raiders wouldn’t see them. Maybe they’d be fine.
Maybe, maybe, maybe.
She’d give her life for an ounce of certainty.
