Chapter 1:

Aelin:

She had no idea how long she'd been locked up in the darkness. All she knew was that they hadn't reached Doranelle and whatever hell Maeve intended for her. Hell. Honestly, dying sounded better than the pain arching up through her back. After Cairn's whipping, it was nothing more than a bloody slab of meat. Every small twitch of her body sent her crying out in pain.

No. She could survive. She would survive. She was Aelin Ashryver Galathynius. Her flame would not be stifled, and no cage could hold her.

Rowan:

He missed her. Aelin, his wife, his mate, his best friend. It pained him to think of his Fireheart locked away in that iron cage. Especially in the state she was in, so close to her burnout having just received many lashes. They must find her.

He set out on his search five days ago along with Lorcan and Gavriel. That morning, he woke up at the crack of dawn to look for any hints or clues Fenrys may have left behind. Just when he was about to give up and head back to their camp, he caught a glint of metal in the corner of his eye.

"Lorcan, Gavriel, get over here. I found something," Rowan shouted. He waited for them to catch up before slowly approaching the object. A dagger.

As he picked it up, he noticed a note attached to the pommel.

I'm trying to get her out.

We're camped in Oakwald

Forest outside of Endovier.

—F

They gathered all of their supplies and set out for Endovier.

Aedion:

They were traveling back to Tarrasen with the troops Aelin had rallied without their knowledge. He still couldn't believe he had doubted her for even a second.

She was prepared to sacrifice everything for them, for them, yet he had still doubted her. He hadn't even been there when she was captured by Maeve.

He should be out searching for her along with Rowan, Gavriel, and Lorcan, but no he had to help Lysandra organize troops and discuss the uninevatable war with the other leaders.

They were currently in the war room, and Lysandra was trying to explain to them all that had happened and what they had learned about the threat they were facing.

"...so we need to find the third wryd key and defeat Erawen to prevent the valg from destroying out world as we know it," Lysandra explained.

"Let me get this straight," Ilias has a confused look on his face "The valg are back, and we have to go to war against them. Not to mention Erawen, one of the strongest."

"Yes," Aedion intervened "and if it means I'll have to die trying to take him down I will. Even if you don't come with us, I will go out onto that battlefield and defeat the demon who stole my kingdom."

At the same time everyone agreed, "I'm in."

They have their soldiers. Now, they just have to get Aelin back... and pay Maeve a little visit.
