Durmas, the priest, entered the room then, his robe dragging against the floor like the whisper of death. I stiffened at his presence, hating how his cold gaze made me feel even smaller, like nothing more than a lamb being led to slaughter.

“No, I am not ready,” I spat, pushing away from Mia’s gentle hands. “I don’t want to be mated to your king. I’m not some piece of property to be traded off.”
