Fairest: The Lunar Chronicles: Levana's Story - Plot & Excerpts
They were as cold as space. As cold as the dark side of Luna. As cold as— “… security feeds captured him entering the AR-Central med-clinic’s sublevels at 23:00 U.T.C.…” Thaumaturge Aimery Park smiled as he spoke, his voice serene and measured, like a ballad. It was easy to lose track of what he was saying, easy to let all the words blur and conjoin. Winter curled her toes inside her thin-soled shoes, afraid that if they got any colder before this trial was over, they would snap off. “… was attempting to interfere with one of the shells currently stored…” Snap off. One by one. “… records indicate the shell child was the accused’s son, taken on 29 July of last year. He is now fourteen months old.” Winter gripped her hands in her lap, hiding them in the folds of her gown. They were shaking again. It seemed like she was always shaking these days. She squeezed her fingers to hold them still. Pressed the bottoms of her feet into the hard floor. Struggled to bring the throne room into focus before it dissolved entirely.
