Having lost everything in the war, Diamant is driven by rage and grieve to seek revenge against the King. This is no easy task as she will get entangled in lies, conspiracy, betrayal, love, war and magic. In all these, she discovers there are important questions about her life that only the past has answers to.

Diamant

Diamant woke up in a warm room, she looked around and she saw Sunain. ﻿ 


"Before you go running off, tell someone." Sunain scolded gently with a smile of relief. 


It was still at night and it was still raining. Sunain must have changed Diamant's dress because it wasn't wet. The whole of Black Mask sat around her in their usual hideout. She looked up and saw DL, his face stoic. She looked away, her mind playing back what had happened. 


"They knew we were coming, I was in their carriage." Diamant said answering the unasked question that lingered over them. 


"You saw them?" DL asked as his voice cut sharply through the silence. 


"No, the darkness and the woman's hat, I couldn't see their faces. But the man seems like a minister, considering his robe." Diamant continued trying hard to remember as she relayed everything that happened to everyone. 


"You are important to the Master?" Malik asked in surprise.
