The Society of the Evening Star could scarcely believe their luck. Two Eternals in one place at the same time!
All they had to do was kill the first Eternal, the strongest shadow walker in eons, and the second, the fairykind wife of the Fairy Queen's only son . . . And then fight their way out of the hordes of unleashed undead and furious astrids.
They tried anyways. Most were slaughtered by overprotective astrid guards before they could even get past the perimeter. One managed to slip closer. She raised her crossbow.
A sword hovered over her throat.
"That," said Bracken very politely, "is my wife you were aiming at. The only reason you aren't dead yet is because she might notice blood on my sword when I get back, and this is the first time she's seen Seth in years. I'm not going to ruin that for her, and neither are you. Understood?"
It was.
