How can I protect our home when I'm the danger?</p><p>Valdís</p><p>He's harsh, unyielding, and he hates me as much as his body wants me. I want him too, but I fear that death is all I will find in his arms and I won't leave my people to be devoured by the Outsiders and their monsters. When the king attacks me, we find out our problems are so much worse than we imagined.&nbsp;</p><p>Is saving our land possible or should our people flee now, before we die fighting?</p>
