Chapter 68 The Abyss Within

The battlefield loomed before them, the air heavy with tension, thick enough to cut with a knife. Isla could feel it in her bones—the unease, the waiting, the inevitability of what was to come. Every step she took felt like it reverberated through the earth, shaking the very foundations of what they were about to face. Dominic stood beside her, his jaw clenched, his eyes scanning the horizon with the sharpness of a predator. She knew he was watching for danger, waiting for any sign that their enemies were closing in, but the gnawing feeling in her chest told her something different—something worse was coming. And it wasn’t just the Circle or the enemies they could see.
