"I've just received a letter from Adam."
Anna's voice echoed in the meeting chamber. She sat at the stone table, a dark look on her face as she clutched a parchment in her hand.
Around the table sat King Maximilian, Queen Amira, Prince Marlow, Duke Bray, Duke Quinn, and finally Kasper York. When they heard about the Dark King's letter, they all had varied expressions.
Everyone looked grim. Everyone except Amira, who looked concerned instead. "Where is he? Is he doing all right?" She couldn't help but ask.
Anna forced a smile as she turned toward her mother. "He didn't specify his whereabouts, Mother. But I'm sure he's fine if he's managed to write me a letter."
"What did the letter say?" King Maximillian asked, his tone heavy and solemn.
He knew that the Dark King was deep behind enemy lines at the moment. He had read several reports about how he had sparked terror in the hearts of Haynam Magi.
