Quinn Sinclair trusted Arik Morgaine until he betrayed her.
Scared and alone, she finds herself delivered into the hands of the evil

beach—she wonders if death is a better option?
Arik Morgaine vowed he'd save Quinn no matter the price.
When his well thought out plans go terribly awry, a desperate and heartbroken
Arik is forced to beg the cruel Triarchia for help. Unwilling to go on without his Älskling, he
answers a question that irrevocably alter their lives.
Can Arik and Quinn find a way back to each other, or will
the price of saving her rip them apart forever?

"Zaira!"
Arik yelled, standing outside Quinn's _______ in Conifer. Thank the Gods Quinn
wasn't here to see the state of her property. The land was once again battle
scarred. But the state of the royal sibling's home was in ruins. But the
property was the least of Arik's problems. Buildings could be rebuilt. Lands
could be _________.
Broken
hearts weren't so easily mended.
"Arik
Morgaine! Why do you ______ me again? Do you fancy me your beck and call girl?
You risk much by coming here. Morgana will note your absence."
"Quinn
thinks I've ________ her. The pain in her eyes…. I—I can't do this."
"Arik
Morgaine, it is too late to turn the tide now. The lot is cast. You must stay
the course."
"What
if she can't _______ me? What if—?"
"Stand
and be the man you are." Zaira crossed her arms over her chest, her opal
eyes narrowed as she looked down at him. "Would you rather the Princess
enter the Fading Times? For that is the alternative.”
Arik
forced himself to his feet sans his ______ swagger. "Call the quest completed," Arik
implored. "Let me take her home to the Magykal Realm."
"You
know that is impossible. Once the quest is set only _______ lifts its prohibitions."
"I
know who carries the __________ Valknut," he said, playing his one trump
card.
"Do
you now?" Zaira lifted her perfect white-blonde brows.
"Aibrenne."
Arik ______ his chin and pinioned Zaira with a _________ stare. "And
what's more, I think you've known all along, haven't you?"
"I
will not deny your assertion." Zaira's voice was cool and unaffected as if
they discussed the color of the sky. "Admittedly, I gambled. One that
______ to return the bargained for rewards.
Arik
ground his teeth together. "Why does it seem like I'm the only one who
cares about what's at _____? Screw this! I'm taking Quinn out of there, and
I'll ______ it out myself."
"Arik
Morgaine! You will do no such thing. Either you stay and follow the Princess
into the Marbh Chamber, or you watch her die. Choose now!"
Arik
clawed both hands through his hair. "You don't understand," Arik
said, his voice a regretful whisper. "This is killing me. I—I can't be
_______ her."
Zaira
blinked rapidly as if she warred with some decision. "I told you both your
_______ would not be an easy one. I will do what I can.
Arik
leaned his head back and howled, letting out his rage, frustration and fear.
His dark emotions manifested into _________ clouds and loud claps of thunder.
Zaira
lifted her eyes heavenward as she ______ for his fit to pass. She shook her
head in a chiding manner. Her ass-long braid shimmied with her ire much the way
a dog's tail ________ when agitated. "It is about faith, Arik
Morgaine."
"Fine,
Emissary, I'll operate on faith." Arik unsheathed Magyk Slayer and planted
it in the ground between himself and Zaira. "But make no _______,"
Arik said and glared down at her. "I swear to the Gods above and all we
hold precious, if Quinn doesn't survive this, I will use the Magyk of Making to
make the _______ of the Dubh War look like a stroll through a field of daisies
on a summer day. Are we clear?"
With
that, Arik shifted away.
