Chapter 279

Adesan’s eyes flew open. She lifted her head quickly, looking around with a start. Her desk, the tactical map, and the tented walls of her command post came into view.

Pale dawn light seeped through the gaps in the tent. The chirping of birds suggested that the night had given way to morning. It had been a full day since Iril had been kidnapped.
“Just what the hell…”
Adesan rubbed her face and sighed. Just like yesterday, she heard the voice of an unknown woman in her head.
