She took a step closer, her foot scraping against the dry earth, and that's when she saw it - the blood. It gushed from his neck like a dark fountain, pumping out his life force with every beat of his heart.

Lyra's scream was frozen in her throat as Kaelin's hand rose, his fingers closing around the hilt of the dagger that had pierced his neck. His eyes never left hers, filled with a mixture of shock, pain, and something else... something that made Lyra's skin crawl. Delight.
