  “Are those gunethes?” she asked, while Aggar, at the same moment, spat, “Eddarghes!”

  She looked at him in confusion, and he quickly explained, “Gunethe is the duergar word for the flowers; eddarghe is the Dwarven one.”

  Sabira groaned. Why hadn’t she seen it before?

  Gunnett, the fortunate twin.

  And Eddarga, the unfortunate one.

  “It was Gunnett.”

  “What?” Aggar and Kiruk gasped at her in unison, while Elix nodded slowly.

  “She was the only one who knew we were going to Sharn first after we left Stormreach,” he said. “The only one who could have known where to send the yrthaks.”

  “And if she was a strong enough mage to get into the Tombs, controlling the yrthaks remotely would have posed no problem for her. She could even have been there, watching from a distance,” Sabira added, shaking her head in disgust. The clues had been there, down to Gunnett’s philosophical defense of Nightshard—of her sister. Sabira just hadn’t been able to put them together.

  “Don’t, Saba.” It was Aggar. “None of us saw it. None of us had any reason to.”

  “I’ll send guards—” Kiruk began, but Sabira stopped him.

  “She’ll be long gone before they get there, if she isn’t already.”

  “What do you think it means, that she sent you these flowers?” Elix asked, concern shadowing his eyes as he looked at her.

  “That it’s not over,” Sabira answered, meeting his gaze. “That she’ll be back.”

  Then she looked over at Aggar, and her next words were a dark promise, to him and to herself.

  “And so will I.”
