Chapter 12

Ronan's POV

Mara entered the infirmary with the expression of a woman who had already made a decision and was only coming to inform the rest of us.

I disliked that expression because I was beginning to recognize it.

"No," I said.

She stopped beside my bed. "I have not asked anything yet."

"You are about to say we leave for Ironwood immediately."

"We leave for Ironwood immediately."

Maeve tied the final bandage around my side and looked between us. "I would charge admission if I thought either of you had money."

Mara ignored her. "Gideon is executing Orsik at dawn."

That changed the room. Tamsin, who had followed Mara inside, handed me the dispatch.
