“I have no interest in prisioners or battling today,” Manon said.
The Queen of Terrasen gave her a grin. “Good.”
Manon turned away, barking at her Thirteen to get to their mounts.
“I suppose,” the queen went on, “that makes you smarter than Baba Yellowlegs.”
Manon stopped, staring straight ahead and seeing nothing of the grass or sky or tress.
Asterin whirled. “What do you know of Baba Yellowlegs?”
The queen gave a low chuckle, despite the warning growl from the Fae warrior.
Slowly, Manon looked over her shoulder.
The queen tugged apart the lapels of her tunic, revealing a necklace of thin scars as the wind shifted.
The scent - iron and stone and pure hatred - hit Manon like a rock to the face. Every Iroonteeth witch knew the scent that forever lingered on those scars: Witch Killer.”

“Do not get distracted. Do not linger. You are a warrior, and warriors know when to pick their fights.'
I nodded, our breath mingling.
Rhys growled. 'They took what is ours. And we do not allow those crimes to go unpunished.'
His power rippled and swirled around me.
'You do not fear,' Rhys breathed. 'You do not falter. You do not yield. You go in, you get her, and you come out again.'
I nodded again, holding his stare.
'Remember that you are a wolf. And you cannot be caged.”
