Chapter 5: Part 8 - The Flawless Victory

It had taken all Erin had to put her trust in Vasha. Even now, crouched in the undergrowth of Bloodtide Fen, she wasn’t quite sure what she’d let herself in for.

Chapter 4: Part 9 - A Hundred Years in the Wilderness

It was a long time since Erin had spent any real time in the Shiverpeaks. Over her years with Amber and then with Light’s Memory, she’d passed through from time to time, but that simply wasn’t the same. Wading through knee-deep snow, waking to ice in your hair and eyelashes, feeling the cold sink right down to your bones… She knew Amber would call her mad for it, but she missed everyone one of those things.

Chapter 4: Part 8 - Conniving Natures

Erin was usually good at waiting. Hunting in the Shiverpeaks required the utmost patience, which meant it was a quality she’d cultivated even before she could hold a sword. But crouching in the undergrowth of a rain-slick night in Ascalon? This was more excruciating than any ambush she’d ever done before.

Chapter 3: Part 7 - Weapons and Enemies

Erin wasn’t going to panic. She knew, as the camp descended into chaos, that she absolutely couldn’t let herself. The moment she gave in was the moment Light’s Memory was lost.

Chapter 3: Part 5 - Sworn To Secrecy

Oska and Ruby barely spoke as they raced back across the Wildlands. Oska’s heart seemed to hammer in his chest, beating an unpredictable rhythm that left him gasping for breath. If Auri was hurt…

Chapter 3: Part 4 - A Thorn In My Side

Erin wasn’t used to having sleepless nights. Usually, she was asleep within half a minute of putting her head down, a trick acquired from years spent in the wilds. Tonight, though, sleep seemed elusive. She just couldn’t remember the last time she’d been plagued by so many damned thoughts.

Chapter 3: Part 2 - Very Good Money

Erin wasn’t used to keeping secrets. For many years, she’d worked alone; if she’d had any secrets then, there wouldn’t have been anyone to tell. There wasn’t usually anything worth hiding from Light’s Memory, either. She was sure half her guild members were engaged in schemes of their own, but that had never bothered her. As long as Erin herself wasn’t the one with something to hide, she was happy.

Chapter 2: Part 4 - A Chilling Discovery

The ruins of the guild hall didn’t look any better on Erin’s return to Lion’s Arch. If anything, after days of being picked over by scavengers and rained on once or twice, they actually looked worse.

Chapter 1: Part 5 - Ashes

Seeing the guild hall burn wasn’t quite like watching her life go up in smoke, but it wasn’t far off. Erin stood on the docks of Lion’s Arch, trying to be stoic about the fact that there was nothing left of the place but a pall of smoke overhead and a greasy stain on the ground. The wooden walls had been old and dry; they’d burnt quickly and with significant heat. The Lionguard, presumably used to such fires, had done nothing but hold back the crowds.

Chapter 1: Part 3 - Den Of Thieves

The guild hall of Light’s Memory had, if Erin was honest, seen better days. It was a former warehouse on the docks of Lion’s Arch, which had seemed practical in the early days of the guild. Back then, with Zurra only just captured and Erin newly in charge, all she’d wanted was a safe place for them to sleep, train, and catch up with one another between paying jobs.
