Chapter 18: The Warden's Lie
The Arena bell rang until dawn, and by sunrise the whole town was in the square.
I stood in the crowd with Kieran on one side and Cassian on the other, and Moth in my hood with her ears flat.
The Warden's steps rose at the front of the square, white stone, with the Thornwick banner hanging behind.
Lord Aldric stood at the top in black velvet, with a silver chain across his chest.
He was a man in mourning, and a thousand people hung on his silence.
"People of Eldmark," he said.
His voice carried to the back of the square without effort.
"I have a grief to tell you, and a danger."
"Ten years ago, a woman named Eira Ashdown was taken in this city for poisoning the beasts of the Arena."
"She called herself a Tamer. She was a poisoner who made animals mad."
A murmur went through the square.
"Her daughter has come to the Trials with her mother's bell, and her mother's poison."
