Chapter Thirty-three

Seventeen Seconds

They dropped from the sky, and Tam nearly lost her footing as the hull hit the ice. She recalled Doshi bragging about the barrel bombs stowed down below and was momentarily grateful the ship hadn’t yet disintegrated in a ball of fire.

Tam clung desperately to the rail, saw her bandmates scatter from the skyship’s path—Brune and Cura one way, Rose and Freecloud another, ducking as the cinched sails passed overhead.

The Widow, she saw, had wrapped both arms around one of the masts, while Roderick was hanging from the console like a climber from a cliff’s edge.

Out of control, the Spindrift spun all the way around, so that Tam was looking over the bow when the sum of all her fears exploded from the ice.
