Chapter 1012

Since the moment Evadne awoke, she had barely paused to rest, keeping a constant vigil by Thaddeus's side, her exhaustion palpable in every drawn breath.

Three days had passed, but to her, it felt like an eternity—a stretch of time that spanned months, years, even decades.

Each cycle of the sun and moon seemed to leech more of her strength away.
