I let out a deep sigh and met Nol’s gaze. “You’re sure about this?”

“Yes, I’ve never been so sure of anything.”

I looked at my feet. “I guess I’m stuck being queen, aren’t I?” I didn’t hate it. The crown, I didn’t hate it like I used to.

I am Lennox Adair, High Queen of Lethenia.

“Well, what’s next?” Nico asked.

I shrugged. “We get to live.” I looked at my friends. “We give to live and see where the stars take us next.”

“I like the sound of that,” Kara mused.

“Me too,” Nol agreed.

“All of us together, until the stars turn to dust.”
