Valka
The first time I met Thane was the first time I died.
Not in the battle camps of Silvermoor. Neither was it on the streets of Voss, when I'd awakened and died in the body of a human infant. Neither was it when I'd fallen off the cliffs and died by Malachy's spear.
The first time I met Thandric, I was in Lucien's arms, already dead.
What happens after death?
Stillness.
It was upon the floors of our private home, hidden away in the hills, surrounded by the bodies of the servants who had become family, who had attended me and raised my daughter to her little age of six, that Thane had found me.
