I stared at the man who the guards escorted to my father. He was filthy, his blond hair full of mud and filth, his clothes ripped from places. He had dried blood on his face and the parts of his body that was visible.The man was my brother, whom I could barely recognize.I wanted to hug him and bury my face in the crook of his neck, no matter how filthy he was. He was alive, at least.But I could not hug him since Father was asking him questions, without letting him to change and clean himself first.“Who let you out, you said?” Father asked. He had asked the same question before.“Rose Silverclaw, the daughter of Aunt Rosalia,” Jace answered.“Why did she help you?”“She doesn’t want to stay there, at such a monstrous place. She said her father makes her do cruel things that she doesn’t want to do. If she doesn’t do as her father says, he will get rid of her. She said she will help Sully too.”“Tell me everything about what is going on there and about your sister,” Father said.Jace
