Dagda says as I take my place to one side of him and a terrified looking Kegan. My cheeks flush with this compliment as well. “Thank you,” I say softly, trying to ignore the scrutiny I am receiving from the rest of the Fairies present. Flynn and Alita come into view and the terrified look ...
I make my way up the three staircases to my room, but, as tired as I am, I can’t crawl right into bed. I need to unwind a little bit. I wander out onto the terrace and the view of the sun setting over the ocean is beautiful. The sky is shades of orange and pink that I’ve never seen before, a...
