Chapter 16

• *Unnash*
• Mistress Hel’s sons and Shadow warriors had arrived at Unnash three nights past. Mistress Hel wandered the territory, placing a red line on the doors of the houses that were to leave. Her target had been families that had children or a child under the age of five. She knew they would take the longest walking through the underground tunnels. The second target was mates who were expecting a child. As long as they were not halfway through the pregnancy or at high risk of miscarriage, they were expected to leave.
• “I am not without emotions!” Mistress Hel told the citizens, “I will give the families one more night with their father, son or brother. Before the women and children leave Unnash!”
