The Healing Wars: Book III: Darkfall - Plot & Excerpts
Two transport ships broke the surface just off the Aristocrats’ Isles, leaning so heavily to one side, their masts dented a villa along the edge of the isle. The Duke had tried hard to reach us but we’d held him back. Another ship lay on its side in the water at the edge of Half Moon Bay, blocking the path to the League better than anything we could have built. The smaller boats we’d sunk had vanished, though they made the water equally treacherous. Two fireboats had tried to maneuver past them and had run aground on the wrecks, ripping out their hulls and sinking. The Duke had diverted more soldiers to North Isle. Rivers of blue and silver were still pouring into our streets from the transport ships we hadn’t been able to sink. We had them contained to the North and Aristocrats’ Isles for now, but we were still outnumbered. “I thought I’d find you here,” Aylin said, walking wearily into the sunroom. Blood stained her shirt, and a smear of it crusted along her hairline.
