Sulfur and iron choke the air of the northern wastes. Among the corpses of her fallen comrades, Norn Greyrat lies in the wreckage, her lute splintered beside her. A shadow falls across her—Kurokasa, her half-brother, has wrenched her from the monster's maw. Her wide, shocked eyes find his face. In the ringing silence of the carnage, something cold and hard in her chest splinters and melts. She is no longer just a daughter or a sister, defined by other names. She is alive, and in his steady gaze, she discovers a terrifying, beautiful truth. Her rank, her failures, all of it falls away. Her heart beats only for him.
