Know How

"Not by choice."

"Then why?" Why did I grow up afraid of myself, not knowing my father feared and hated me more than I ever could? Ciaran didn't dare say the words aloud even if Eoghan wasn't there to hear.

"You are still half mortal. And you have a destiny."

"What destiny?"

"You started it tonight."

At Brenna's pointed glance in the direction they'd come, Ciaran knew. His stomach lurched.

"She couldn't have meant me to be a murderer."

"She meant you to save her lands."

"Me? Save the land from those monsters in their dragonboats? How?"

"You know how."
