Nova POV:

Hearing that my heart drops. “800 more rogues…?” I whisper. “How?!”

“My warriors have a theory” Alex says his voice low. “They seem to be under a different type of control, they said they move efficiently and are clearly under the same leader. They think these are rogues which have been under Charles leadership or that of his witch acquaintance for a long time, that’s how they’ve been undetected.”

“I was going to say, surely my father would know about that many rogues gathering from his scouts” I say quietly as I drop into a chair.

I suspect they won’t be trained as well as us and will be there for numbers only, surely we would be aware of rogue numbers that size training at some point” I begin saving. “On average I’d say our skilled warriors could easily take on any
