Guys I'd just like to mention before hand that the characters from the original books won't have as in-depth and long chapters just because they're not my characters. They didn't come from my head so I find it much harder to write them in an authentic way but I feel like I needed to spice things up with some different point of views. The majority of the chapters will be in the perspective of new characters because they're mine and I get to make their history and decide all their quirks and that stuff that makes me good at writing.
Also it's ONE WHOLE MONTH until War Storm! I'm super excited and already pre-ordered a signed copy from waterstones and hope to go to one of Victoria Aveyard's Events in the UK! What are you going to do to celebrate the final book? Anyone ordered the Barnes & Nobel's edition because that map looks gorgeous! Anyway I totally appreciate if you just skipped all this ⬆⬆⬆but here's a little bit more of Scarlet's story for you! (Btw tell me if you can work out the code names 😉😉😉.)
Lan and Daniel are forbidden to leave the walls of whitefire. After what happened yesterday it is obvious why. We assumed the Scarlet guard were the culprits straight away - lies and deception that led us to allow three of their numbers into the palace - easy to place the organisation behind. It shouldn't take us long to find the Scarlet guard base and then we'll have Scarlet back for Princetrial - before she even knows it she shall be married and steered towards the crown. The younger she becomes queen the easier it will be to use her as our puppet.
“Your Majesty,” A red maid bends into a curtsy.
“Yes.”
“Clues have been found in the spies’ quarters.”
I laugh. Considering The Scarlet guard is a well thought out, military organisation you'd think they were more careful to cover their tracks. I follow the servant to where Cal is examining a piece of paper written in code. It's only a few sentences:
-LAMB, LIBRARIAN and WOOL to go to BLANCHEFLAME.
-YLG shall be extracted along with J.
-5667855400834222567221187543218
I take the sheet of paper in my fingers resisting the urge to shriek and rip it to shreds.
“Put this number into the system - it could be a location or-”
Cal holds a piece of paper up.
“If we leave now we can be there by morning.”
I nod.

“Mom,” Daniel pulls me attention. He can't come - neither can Lan. With our two eldest children away, in danger, they must stay here.
“Daniel, Lan you are not to leave the palace under any circumstances. Continue training as usual and stay safe.”
I kiss each of them on the forehead.
“I'll see you soon.”
They both nod. My sons who were never meant to have the crown - they are not princes but sharp Silver soldiers in the making. Alfie a general stronger than most. My four sons know more of Norta than Scarlet, who has only ever seen the walls of Whitefire or Summerton. When I find her I will spit on her scornful red blood. Even her name is a sin - an act of rebellion. Even common people can see - she doesn't belong with a crown on her head.
As I step onto the air jet my dress morphs into shimmering armor. Now the next level of the game begins.
