Chapter 14: The Hearth-Healer's Daughter
"Say it to the room," I said.
My voice shook, and I let it.
The King looked at the eleven Alphas on their benches and at the court healer holding the ledger.
"The Queen died of a fever twelve years ago," he said. "My wife. Alaric's mother."
Alaric did not move.
"The Hearth-Healer told me the fever would break on its own and the bleeding would kill her."
"The bleeding," I said.
"A cure the court physicians swore by. They opened her veins three times in one night."
The King's mouth worked.
"I was out of my mind. When she died, I wanted someone to blame who was not myself."
He turned to the healer in the violet robe.
"You were her deputy then. You held the bowl."
The healer set the ledger down on the council stone.
She did it very carefully.
