Chapter 379: The Rogue King’s Gambit

Killian's POV

"It doesn't look like much," Drystan said, his tone edged with frustration as he leaned back in his chair.

"It doesn't have to," Nova replied sharply, her gaze fixed on the Amulet. "You felt what it did to us down there. This thing is dangerous, whether it looks like it or not."
