I knew exactly where I needed to be. Perhaps not the precise location, but I was certain that somewhere within this region, I would find the reckless woman who had no real understanding of this world. If she had no foundation in this reality, wouldn’t it make sense for her to trust the man destined to be hers above all else? How fragile was human belief? Mates couldn’t betray one another. So how could my own brother be deceived? My powers tore through space, depositing me deep within an unfamiliar forest. Halla Eberron had the most expansive woodlands in existence, so I wasn’t surprised that even I, who had spent centuries roaming, could not recognize every path. Still, I had never enjoyed lingering in the wilderness longer than necessary. I could sense Claret’s presence not far ahead,
