  “So are you ready to end Fallon’s torture?” Inara asked me. “I think he’s been waiting for this day long enough.”

  I nodded my head and took in a deep breath. “I’m ready.”

  Inara escorted me out of my room and down the hallway to the balcony at the front of the palace. Fallon and I decided to invite every citizen of Iron City to the wedding, and the balcony was the only way to ensure those who attended could watch the proceedings.

  Inara placed her hands on the doorknobs of the double doors leading out to the balcony. Before she opened it, she looked over her shoulder at me and raised her eyebrows in a silent question.

  Once she opened the doors, I knew my life would never be the same again. Fallon and I would rule Vankara side by side, and I would have someone who would always stand by me no matter what.

  I nodded my head, letting Inara know that I was ready, not only for her to open the doors, but to also take the next step into my future.

  Fallon’s and Dena’s smiling faces were the first ones I saw after the doors swung open. John was holding my daughter in his arms so naturally that anyone who saw them together would have thought he was her father. Dena, bundled up in a royal blue coat with white fur edgings, began to clap her gloved hands together at the sight of me.

  “So pretty, Mummy!” she declared in glee.

  How could I not smile when two of my favorite people in the world were looking at me with more love than I ever thought I would have in my life? I walked up to them and kissed Dena on her cheek before Fallon placed her back on her feet. Dena stood on my left side while Fallon took his place to my right. Dracen stepped up on Fallon’s other side since he was serving as his best man, and Inara stood on the other side of Dena.

  Dracen winked and smiled at me as Isabelle began to officiate the wedding. She used the spell I saw her use on Queen Emma when I was a child to amplify all of our voices so the people of Iron City could hear us declare our vows to one another. As John and I stood there, holding each other’s hands and listening to Isabelle’s words, a light snow began to fall.

  Once upon a time, snow had been the harbinger of death to so many of us. Now, as I watched the fragile flakes float down through the air, it seemed to act as a bringer of new promises, filling us all with the knowledge that from this day forward our futures would be filled with unforetold and exciting possibilities.

  Note from the Author

  Thank you so much for reading War of Atonement. I know a lot of you have waited a long time for it to be completed. I hope the ending was a satisfying one for you. At this time, I have no plans to continue this series. I may come back to it at a later date.

  As I continue to write books in my Watcher series, I also plan to start a new series this year. The first book in this series will be titled Pandora’s Gift. It will be a story that encompasses Greek, Norse, and Egyptian mythologies.

  For more information on my projects, you are more than welcomed to contact me or join any of my social media outlets.

  Again, thank you all for reading the Vankara Saga!
