Chapter 45 Fall Of The Shade

• The palace hall was eerily silent as Ariella’s sword clashed with the leader of The Shade, his dark eyes flashing with rage and fear. The power of his strike reverberated through her body, but she stood firm. The battle was not over yet—she could feel it in her bones, the final act was just beginning.
• Kael, ever her steadfast protector, was not far behind. His sword cut through the air as he engaged another of The Shade’s commanders. But Ariella could sense the weight of her own fight. She needed to finish this, to end The Shade’s reign once and for all.
• The leader’s voice was low, full of venom. "You think you’ve won, girl? You are nothing but a fleeting dream in the kingdom’s history. When you fall, so will Elandor."
