I pointed at Regner’s ship.
Regner ducked, and together, Regner, Zathrian, and Eadric lifted an object they’d kept carefully hidden.
A mirror.
When the waves are coerced…
And reflection deceives…
Dread exploded through my gut. I grabbed my hourglass and hauled my own power to me.
It didn’t work.
Time didn’t stop.
My lungs seized. I pulled harder. Nothing.
What was happening? I wasn’t out. I still had power left.
On the ship, standing next to Regner, my cousin smiled at me, his hands high in the air, aimed at us.
He’d neutralized me.
That was why he was here. He’d saved his power just for this.
Conreth’s power hit the glass. But instead of freezing and exploding, that mirror reflected his power.
A trick. Regner had sacrificed some of his most important people earlier, making sure his wards appeared weak, ensuring Conreth couldn’t help but use his power…
That power was heading back toward our lines. But instead of Conreth, it was aimed at…
No.
The ship rocked again. Someone slammed into me. One of Daharak’s men. He fumbled an apology, but I was already pushing him aside as I tripped forward.
I launched myself at Lorian
Just as his brother’s power hit him in the chest.
Lorian looked at me, and realization flashed across his beautiful face.
I saw him forming the words.
“In another life.”
He was turning to ice, eyes blank. Gone.
For a single moment, I felt him next to me, his soul caressing mine.
I love you.
The ice exploded into thousands of pieces.
Conreth screamed his brother’s name.
Everyone was shouting, ducking for cover.
But the sound dimmed.
