CHAPTER 88

Ilya

Moonsday, Novembros 5

Now it comes, Ilya thought as he and Grimshaw sped toward The Jumble.

Kira. A willing betrayer of her own kind? Or a puppet that a human had used?

Fire said.

Ilya didn’t ask for details. He would be told soon enough.

“We’re going to get there too late,” Grimshaw said. “That’s why you insisted that Julian stay in the village.”

“Yes,” Ilya said. “Whatever is going to happen will be done before we arrive, and he doesn’t need to see . . .” Then he considered what Fire had said.

When Fire told him, relief flooded through him. He smiled and turned to Grimshaw. “We may not be too late after all.”

“Why is that?” Grimshaw said, spraying gravel as he turned into the access road for The Jumble.

“Because Victoria must have followed the directions she was given and gotten lost.”
