“Ah, Marissa!” Old Dorien’s toothy grin greeted them. Deeper in the house, Rosalind’s sobs had softened and Nad snapped, “She’s not to enter, Dorien.” Carissa suppressed a sigh. Really?

His brow plummeted in concern as he rushed to her side and cradled her hand between his. “You’re hurt.” He glanced up at her mother. “Do you have any clean water I could use?” Her mother jutted her chin towards the window. “Outside. There’s a well.” Elon tugged…
