During the Great Fire of Arün five years ago, Prince Laverne Ingerman stared down death, succumbed to fear and accepted that his life was at its end to save his father. However, Laverne survived thanks to his father's love for his children and King Valka took Laverne's place in the afterlife. Now, King Laverne has one wish: to resurrect Valka. Unfortunately for him, there is only one way to get his impossible wish granted: resurrect the dead gods. 
 

What Is Done

In six weeks, like Sellion had said, everything had been prepared by the castle staff for the journey to Cärrish. The girl called Essaerae Mala joined Sellion and me by the Castle of Glass’ gates. I was unaware of my surroundings, messing with my appearance. I wore all white, matching my hair and my royal white stallion. The other horses, a black and a brown one, were covered in packs full of supplies. Essaerae easily recognized the black horse as the one belonging to my father before his passing. She was quite different than I imagined for her namesake. I had not seen her in person before my father's death. 


Sellion called Essaerae over to the horses and introduced her to the brown one. "This is Adkin. The people who cleans the stables thought she'd be a good fit for you with your shy personality and all," I overheard him say.
