Chapter Forty-Eight
Talon
As much as he would have hated to say it, Talon was glad it was Conal’s turn to carry Brianne. He was utterly exhausted and glad he could see the coast in the distance. He flew beside Conal, keeping an eye on Brianne.
“I see something,” one of the Caelians called out, pointing off into the distance.
Talon looked to where he pointed, seeing a cloud of dust hanging in the air, a figure on horseback, three horses trailing behind him on lead ropes. Exhaustion fell away as adrenaline hit him and he increased his speed, like his companions did. They were soon close enough for Talon to see Elden, the hood of his black robe thrown back, glancing over his shoulder, setting free his extra horses.
“He’s headed for a boat. Don’t let him near it,” Ewyn called out.
