Nos arredores do castelo, surgem rumores a respeito de uma conspiração contra misteriosos planos do rei, mas antes de cuidar dos traidores, Celaena quer descobrir exatamente que planos são esses. O que ela não imaginava é que acabaria em meio a uma perigosa trama de segredos e traições tecida ao redor da coroa. Em Adarlan, um segredo parece se esconder por trás de cada porta trancada, e Celaena está determinada a desvendar todos eles para proteger aqueles que aprendeu a amar.

Esse conto foi baseado em uma lenda dos Yanomamis em que um deus demoníaco que cuida da floresta (como o curupira) encontra dois caçadores com visões e atitudes diferentes durante uma caçada. . . . . (Uma história criada por mim, mas derivada de uma lenda. Futuramente planejo editar esse conto afim de melhorar seu aspecto. Eu mudei pouca coisa da lenda para me adaptar na hora de escrever. Indico a ler sobre a lenda.) Deixo minha dedicatória a minha escola e ao meu avô. Espero que gostem. #Thebest

With the help of four other Celestials, Zuri sets out on a lengthy journey to locate him. Except, complications soon arise when they discover that this man's power isn't so simple. That, and they're not the only ones looking for him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Updates every Saturday. As always, vote and comment if you enjoy!

Bribed by her stubborn and terribly conceited self, Imani Ane agrees to be the personal maid of a creep whose family's a little too perfect. To the undeniably humble Ane, all's generally fine as she struts about the wealthy Campbell's residence and tends to its needy, frustratingly beautiful twig of a Master, but such mercy's bound to not last long── love is in the air with little to no patience, and so are the demons hiding in plain sight, always ready to pounce on any soul that disturbs them, even if they're Ane's own.
