The wave I’d created had ripped me from the monster’s grasp, but his magic still shrieked through the water. He wasn’t far, his vibrations trembling cold over my body. My blood turned to ice.

I swam in the depths of the raging sea, searching for Salem. The waters churned in whorls and vortices, life rushing around me. I could stay here forever if I didn’t have a fae to kill.

For some strange reason, the thought of killing Salem spread frosty blooms of dread through my chest. Almost like I didn’t want to kill him.

I searched the murky water for Salem, blood clouding around me. Where was it all coming from?

I looked down at my body, at the brutal gashes on my arm and leg. The Ollephest had sunk his talons into my flesh, ripping it right open. With all the adrenaline pumping, I hadn’t noticed it before. Now, the sight of it sent alarm bells ringing in my mind. As soon as I saw bone exposed through my flesh, pain screamed up my arm and my leg.

I whirled around, trying to find Salem.

At last, in the ocean’s gloom, I saw him. His body glowed like a distant star. I’d seen that before, hadn’t I? A vision or a dream… A silver sphere in the dark seawaters, as beautiful and stark as the dawn of the universe. The cold perfection of the evening star.

The monster’s screaming focused my attention again into a diamond-sharp point. Spurred into action, I shot through the ocean, the water rushing around me. The pain in my limbs was forgotten.

As I swam closer to Salem, I grimaced. His wing had been nearly torn in half. He was fighting against the waves, his wing ripping further.

Despite everything I knew about him, my heart constricted a little at the sight of the blood clouding around him. He was swimming for the surface, but his broken wing dragged in the water.

When I reached him, I gripped him around the waist and kicked. His muscular arms wrapped around me, and his body heated me in the water. His heart reverberated in my chest.

When he met my gaze, I saw his eyes had gone a murky red. Unlike me, he needed air. He wouldn’t die—not without the sea glass in my hands—but his lungs probably felt like they were on fire.

As I swam, the Ollephest’s shrieking grew louder. He was closing in on us. Like me, he might hunt underwater by sound. I closed my eyes, trying to tune in to the feel of solid land anywhere nearby.

After a moment, I felt it.

An island close by, solid in the raging sea. Less than a mile away, I thought. We just needed to get there, drag ourselves onto land. Dizziness whirled in my head as blood flowed out of me.

I closed my eyes as I tuned into the water. Letting my sea magic course through my body, I created a fast current. Roiling around us, the current began ushering us to the shore.

As the cool waters carried us, my mind was going darker, cloudier.
