THE NEW LAND
The grass under Kerrigan’s cheek was soft and springy. As if she were
waking up back in her mountain home with the feather down mattress
beneath her. Any second now, Benton and Bayton would sweep in and busy
her out of the comfort of her Society accommodations and off to work. Her
eyes would flutter open, and everything would be well.
But that wasn’t right at all.
Her head buzzed. Bees zipped in and out of her skull, and the noise was
only getting louder as she drew closer to consciousness.
“Do you think she’s alive?”
Kerrigan shuddered at the sound of the voice. Her whole body trying, yet
failing, to break out of whatever web she was snagged in.
“She looks a trifle dead to me, Matron.”
“She’s still breathing.”

“Barely.”
She needed to wake up. She needed to face what was on the other side of this
mossy grass. There was something out there she needed to do.
But all of it felt so … distant.
It would be easier if she just lay here and did nothing. She had lost. That
much bypassed the buzzing in her ears. She had lost, and she had traveled
here—wherever here was—and giving up felt so much easier than fighting.
Surrender.
A voice like honey soothed her, silencing the bees and letting her know
that it would be all right. Everything would work out. If she lay here and slept
and forgot what she was after, then she could go on. And on sounded so
much nicer than the alternative.
“Should I run for a healer?”
“Can’t afford one, can we? It’d be more than she’s worth.”
No.
She pushed the honey tongue away from her. Memories floated past it as
Kerrigan forced her way through the viscous substance coating her memories
and dragging her to the deep beyond. Her mission was important. It was the
only way to save her friends and family back home. A home she might never
return to if she didn’t push forward.
What was she supposed to be doing?
“I don’t know. That pink skin and red hair …”
Gentle like a lullaby, the answer returned to her.
Her mother.
Her mother was alive.
For eighteen years, she’d believed that her mother had died in childbirth.
Most human women didn’t survive birthing a Fae child. Even a half-Fae, like
Kerrigan, who had too much magic by most people’s standards, the mother
rarely survived. It was something in the amount of magic that was
incompatible with the human.
Except her mother had survived.
In fact, she’d left the land of the gods to drop Kerrigan off with her father
to keep her safe. As scandalous as it was, her mother had already been
married, and her husband would stop at nothing to remove an illegitimate
child.
Now, she was Kerrigan’s only hope.
Alandria needed her. The city of Kinkadia needed her. The Society and
all the dragons and all the people it had sworn to protect needed her.
And Kerrigan had to find her.
“Her eyes are moving. I think she’s waking up!”
