"Jane-" I tried to form the word, to shape it into something that could keep her tethered to this world, to remind me of the name I should use like a shield. My own mouth wouldn't cooperate; failure clung to me like a second skin.

I wanted to tell her to run, to vanish into shadow, to call upon the heavens and conjure a miracle. I wanted to tell her that the monarchy could endure without her blood on the blade-without her life burned behind her eyes.
