A veline Corasande Caelan had only one good memory of the dungeon
at Ridine Castle. A kiss. It had been delivered with a blend of
trickery and desire, and she’d received it with equal parts yearning
and rage. It was a strange first kiss between her and Teryn Alante, but it
held a special place in her heart.

It was that special place, that steadying warmth, that allowed Cora to
keep her nerves from fraying in that same dungeon now. To anchor herself
in this moment without letting her mind drift to all the dark memories this
place conjured. Cora hated coming to the dungeon, but at least she wasn’t a
prisoner this time. No, this time she was the captor.
She kept her face impassive as she studied the man tied to the chair at
the center of the cell. He was an older man with shaggy gray hair and a
build that bordered on frail, but Cora wasn’t swayed into sympathy. This
man was dangerous.
Captain Alden of Cora’s royal guard stepped closer to the captive, one
hand on the hilt of her sword. Alden was already an imposing figure with
her towering height and scarred left cheek that spoke of her experience in
battle, but the way she scowled down at the prisoner, her face lit by the
single lantern resting on the ground, made her look downright terrifying.
Her golden hair was pulled back in a tight bun that showed off all the hard
angles of her face. “Why were you seeking information about Ridine
Castle?” she said, voice low and controlled.
To the prisoner’s credit, he held Captain Alden’s eyes without falter,
even though one of his own was nearly swollen shut, and delivered his
answer with equal calm. “I was simply doing my job. Every kingdom has
its spies. Even yours.”
Cora kept her breaths even, her palms open, seeking the truth beneath
the prisoner’s lies. While her abilities were far from infallible, being a
clairsentient witch had its uses. Her magic worked through feeling, both
physical sensation and emotion alike. She was familiar enough with her
internal nudges to know which sensations meant danger and which meant
safety, as well as other varying shades in between. Her emotions fueled her
magic and had even allowed her to accomplish strange and unusual feats.
The most recent of which was her ability to astral travel. Or, as she’d
learned the fae called it, worldwalking.
Now her magic was less focused on her own feelings and more on the
prisoner’s. Not every clairsentient witch could physically feel the emotions
of others, but Cora’s magic had always been like this. It was often a burden
that required nearly full-time use of mental shields to block outside
emotional stimuli, but in this situation her powers were essential.
