Summary
“My daughter,” he says, and through the blurry faces and colors in her eyes, Claudia hears him. She presses her forehead to the metal separating them, feeling her eyes bulge in that too-common way.
She’s cried too much, these days. Claudia is tired. Tired of it all.
Viren’s hand comes to brush through her hair, and Claudia lets herself sob, just once more.
“I need to talk to you,” she murmurs, hating the way her voice wobbles.

Summary
The knife appears almost out of thin air as he holds it, hilt first, toward his father.
Soren is not a coward. He will stare death in the eye unflinchingly, back ramrod where it looks into gray eyes of flint.
His voice is low, urgency pressed into every syllable. When he speaks, he tastes iron, smells the cut of the blade before it has even pierced skin.
“Take my heart.”
