The Night Prince
Kingdom of Etta
THE MOON WAS RED. Not bright
like fresh blood, more rusted like blood
had spilled but dried a day before. For two nights the vibrancy had shifted.
Pale pink, like a fleshy scar, then a touch of red, now it was a strange
collision of the sunset and a scab.

My mother hated it. Since the first shade over the pale surface, Lilianna
Ferus stepped into the open gardens and studied the sky. Surrounded by the
silver petals of moonvane, it would be a near peaceful sight if not for the
groove between her brows.
My daj said it was nothing, told us to leave her be, but tonight, when his
gaze tracked her on her procession from the great hall, I caught the twitch to
his lip. Arvad Ferus was a brilliant leader, but a horrid schemer.
Memories of boyhood, playing game hall games at our family’s table,
I’d been able to best him by the time I turned ten merely by watching the
tells of his face.
If concern for my mother was there, his face flinched, as if he fought the
urge to speak or press her for thoughts. Or as if the notion of Maj being

the bold leader who could demand words from his stubborn mother, or I
could make this simpler by wielding the fiercest weapon against Lilianna’s
guard. I chose the latter.
“Wear her down, little love.” I tucked the cozy linen blanket tighter
around Livia’s tiny body, adjusted her dark, fuzzy head in the crook of my
elbow, then took the bold step into the gardens.
My mother was slender, two heads shorter than me, but Timoran blood
was fierce. The only one who frightened me as much as my own mother
was my wife.
“Maj.” I stopped at her side. “Didn’t mean to interrupt, but I thought
you might want to have a few more peeks of this girl before we leave on the
morrow.”
My mother turned over her shoulder. At once, her gaze dropped to the
bundle in my arms. The discomfited furrow on her forehead faded, replaced
by a wide grin. “Oh, let me see her.”
