When Tara woke, it was to pain and a sandy, claustrophobic darkness that nearly drove her to panic.

But she steadied herself, and after a few breaths she realized the crash had driven her underneath one of the consoles of her flier. She remembered her brother’s danger, and Djor, and their ruined flight.

But if they had crashed, how was she not already in the towers of Manator? Had they been hidden from view? Were they miraculously safe?

No knowing in hiding. Tara steeled her nerves, untangled herself from the mess of wires, and crawled out into the cabin of the flier.

The first thing she saw was the dawn light glinting through the windshield; at least this was not a tomb.

The second thing was that Djor was gone.

It wasn’t a mystery that took long to solve. The entry hatch of the ship was standing open, and the floor bore the marks of someone being dragged out fighting.

Djor had been taken by the Kaldanes, and they hadn’t looked for others because her flier sat only one.

Poor Djor Kantos, she thought. To have come so far and be taken this way.

But not for nothing; if she could fight for two, she could fight for three.

She wrenched her hair into a knot, tightened her scabbard, and climbed out of her ship.

The city of Manator rose from the sand at the edge of the horizon, jagged and hopeless behind its walls. The sun was just rising over the lower buildings—the high towers and the flier-landing pad were thrown into silhouette, long shadows that warned her back where she had come.

Too late for that, she thought with a shudder, and started walking.
