Chapter 91 The Fire Within

The darkness had not yet yielded to morning. The heavens were a gaping chasm, scattered with weak stars, their fires fighting against the dense storm clouds billowing in. The wind bore the reek of blood and charred wood—traces of the Hollowpine ambush. Ash Calder and Seraphine Wolfe were standing at the perimeter of the devastation, muscles tense, gasping. The echoes of the battle still rang in their ears, but the real fight had only just begun. Sera was missing. Taken. No changes. The young girl Ash had vowed to safeguard was now a bringer of something greater, something more evil than either the Burned Hand or the First Pack could have imagined. Damon had made her a weapon, and if they didn't prevent him, the war would tip in the hands of monsters worse than werewolves or hunters.
