Fear Like a Flame (What's Happening to Me?) | Chapter 7

✨ Read on AO3! ✨

He stills, the corpse's head still secure within the crook of his elbow. He pays attention to the thrum of his own pulse, relishing in the warmth of the incandescence that swells within his chest. It's accompanied by a persistent sense of euphoria—a tangible heat that floods his very marrow. It's unlike anything he's ever known.

Chapter Summary: Ambrose du Clairmont wakes after a nautiloid crash to a lithe woman picking his pockets. Miraculously, he escapes both nautiloid and pilferer with nary a scratch. Not an external one, at least.

There's only the one problem: the thief knows his name, and so much more besides. Where Ambrose's grey-matter has been carved into a void, Verna remembers a life—one that barely feels like it belongs to him at all.

She’s felt further from the moon since her first gold scale—and now, further still from the parts of her sister that never came home with the rest. Light in Sylvie’s eyes that, unlike the moon’s, might never return. Levity is pledged, now, to a single word: one that threatens to go brittle before long.

Chapter Summary: An attack in the ruins of Moonhaven leaves the party shaken—especially sisters Levity and Sylvie Caerlight, who haven't been the same since Sylvie descended with Elturel a year ago. Their number splits, and soon not only unspoken tension weighs the air on the path ahead, but wild and potent magic—enough to swallow up unsuspecting passersby, and enough to rouse the very dead.

To say nothing of the most volatile secret of all: the Netherese blight gnawing above their wizard's heart, worsening with every stolen glance.

Will their fractured party mend the rifts surrounding them before it's too late, or will the weight of their secrets shatter them all?
