“I refuse to believe that.”
“Believe it.” I stood on legs that suddenly didn’t want to hold me, and started toward the house. I wanted to find that bed before I collapsed where I stood.
“Conall,” Tristra called after me.
I looked over my shoulder at her. I almost corrected the name, but didn’t. Not all the memories attached to that name were bad.
“It really is good to see you again,” she said. Her smile looked sincere. I hoped I wouldn’t regret trusting it again.
Something occurred to me, and I smiled back.
“What are you thinking?” Tristra asked, narrowing her eyes.
“Everything we went through because I wouldn’t stop trying to save the humans. All the fights we had.” I shook my head, and laughed under my breath. “And now here we are, fighting for another doomed cause. Together.”
I turned around before I could see her reaction.

About the Author
Cruelty, selfishness, greed… this world is full of darkness. But light still exists, caged but undimmed, an unquenchable spark at the core of the human heart. And that spark is worth fighting for.
Some people are still willing to fight. Bloodied and broken, they rise undaunted from every defeat to fight for justice and compassion in a world that has none. But before they can drive back the world’s darkness, they’ll need to confront the darkness in their own souls.
These are the heroes at the heart of Z.J. Cannon’s work, which blends page-turning suspense with high-stakes drama to create stories about flawed and often deeply damaged people fighting against overwhelming odds to do what’s right.
