The Queen They Buried

Chapter 76

“If Bree’s been inside for too long, go check on her.” These were Bowen’s parting words to Zachary,

While unlikely, after the Daxton incident, Bowen couldn’t afford to be careless.

Last time, he’d made it just in time, but he couldn’t count on always being that lucky.
