I gave up on sleep around seven. Got dressed. Splashed cold water on my face. Stared at myself in the mirror until my reflection started looking like a stranger.
The knock on my door came at seven-thirty.
"Come in." I was too tired to care who it was.
Lila entered. She looked better than the rest of us, cleaned up, rested, focused. Like the mine hadn't almost killed her yesterday.
"We need to talk." She closed the door behind her. "About the shadow array."
"Killian already told me. Three components. Twins, royal blood, Shadow vessel." I sat on the edge of my bed. "What else is there?"
"He got it wrong. Or rather, incomplete." Lila pulled out a different scroll from her bag. "I found this after he left last night. Was going through the documents more carefully."
She unrolled it on my desk.
"What am I looking at?"
