Chapter 16: Blood at the River Stone
The priestess did not run.
She lifted her silver staff against forty swords and said, in a voice that carried across the gravel, "This bank is under the Goddess's vow!"
The first blue rider cut her down anyway.
She fell across the roots of the river stone, and the split rock rang.
Then everything happened at once.
Thirty Alphas shifted in the same breath, and the bank filled with fur and teeth.
I dropped the bier-pole and tore at my cloak, and Rhydian's hand closed on my shoulder for one heartbeat.
"Behind me," he said.
"No."
"Seraphine."
"Beside you. That's the vote."
He gave a short, savage laugh and let go.
We shifted together.
The world sharpened to scent and noise. I smelled horse sweat, steel, river mud, and under the royal-blue cloaks something I knew from the bridge.
Dun fur, rank and smoky.
"Ashen," I snarled through the pack-link.
"I smell it," Rhydian said, and his russet bulk hit the first horse like a thrown wall.
