Summary
Quirin unfolded the crumpled paper. Something coarse brushed against his fingers as he did. He stared down at his hands, breath catching in his throat as he traced a finger over Hector’s severed braid.
With trembling hands, he straightened the paper and read the message. With each word, his heart sank further into the pit of his stomach.The Brotherhood, as evidenced by their name, is a close-knit family. Taken hostage by brigands who want to see the downfall of the kingdom's strongest knights, a young Hector and Adira must do what they can to survive until their family arrives.

Summary
Quirin opened his mouth to respond but stopped at the noise of a low rumbling. He held up his hand for silence. The other two froze, glancing around with experienced eyes. A tremor shook the ground under their feet, and streams of dirt broke free from the ceiling and rained down upon their heads.
“Run,” Quirin ordered. “Get out now!”
When a mission goes wrong, the Brotherhood finds themselves separated in a cave-in. An injured and delirious Quirin's life is left in the hands of his siblings—but their separations don't stop at just a pile of rocks.

Summary
She stumbled across the room, blood rushing to her head, the roar of the tidal wave drowning out her thoughts. Heedless of where her feet carried her, she shoved past the bodies, a broken cry tearing from her throat at each brush of her skin or clothes against theirs. Something struck her in the side—or perhaps she struck something, but either way it sent her falling to the floor, legs tangled in the folds of her blood-red dress, fabric catching on her hands and tearing beneath her fingers as she clawed to free herself.
A hand grabbed her arm, and she screamed, wrenching away. The wave encircled her, hands reaching from it to grasp at her, eyes transfixed and mouths agape. She was drowning, swept away in a sea of endless voices and staring figures and reaching hands.
Secrets only run skin deep. A midnight dance reveals more than the attendees bargained for, and Adira, Hector, and Quirin must decide what to do with their newfound knowledge.
