Silva listened to the echo of her boots against the hard floors of the castle. It was different than the long spires of her home in Agrentum. There were so many more floors and verticality to her home. She’d only read about castles like this in books.

“So for us who are not so magically inclined. Can you explain what the hell you two are doing?” Snow asked as she finished drawing a circle in the ground per her mate’s instructions.
