Chapter 32
Our group rode hard, the pace aggressive and jarring, and we were three
guards short of when we left Masadonia. A few hours later, we found
Noah’s horse grazing, and once he was tethered to Luddie’s mount, we
were on our wayy once more.
Having stopped just outside of Three Rivers for onlyy a few hours to
rest the horses, we traveled straight through the night. Myy heart was heavyy,

Because reading his emotions right now would feel like cheating.
Byy the time we reached New Haven, dusk was quicklyy upon us. We
passed through the small Rise with little issue. Hawke dismounted and
