White Cliffs was north, that was the extent of my knowledge. Somewhere I had never been before, but then I never had a reason for a visit, there were always enough Rogues down south.

I flip open the notebook with Silas's directions and information. And still the castle was not at all what I was expecting.

Stretched out across a cliff and surrounded by a concrete wall that is easily twelve feet tall, maybe more. Clearly the wall was not just designed to stop people getting in, but people getting out.

I glance down at the image Silas had drawn. It was exactly the same, turrets and all. It wasn't until he told Damien and I that a spell had been put on this place, that it began to make sense. Hiding it from plain sight. Thankfully, I wasn't blind to it.

Heavy gates sit closed, but surprisingly no one guards them. Between us is a fast flowing river that leads to a waterfall at the cliff side. The water crashes down onto the rocks below. Even standing here, I knew the sea below was rough, stopping people from arriving on boats, just like Samara had told everyone.

A single drawbridge that is closed, stops me going any further. It wasn't going to be easy to get inside, but like anything, there would be a weak point.

My eyes move back to the castle. Silas could have warned me that the people here lived in medieval times.

I could hear people. Happy people. Not a single sound of someone who is in trouble. Music plays and the smell of a roasting hog is strong in the air. It takes me a second to realise they are celebrating something.
