Reign of Shadows
(Descendants #3)
By Melissa Wright
Brianna can see her future, but it’s the past that haunts her. Plans laid in place centuries ago are threatening not only her and her sister, but all of the Seven Lines. As the shadows plot their way to old rule, the visions shift again. Her power has led to some hard choices—and the occasional stab wound—but this set of futures holds nothing but darkness.
Unable to bear the idea of losing the footing they've so recently gained, she turns the soldiers of the Seven. But with shadows hidden among the ranks, can she overcome the path they've set in place, or is she blindly following their lead?

EXCERPT 5
Chapter Three Cont’d
Aern
She
did notice Logan then, the absolute stillness of him, not a breath, not even
the tightening of his fist, and her eyes pleaded with Aern to follow her
conclusion without making her say it. Without explaining to Logan and her
sister that someone might have that power over her, might be able to push
thoughts into her mind.
“Okay,”
Aern said, “then we find him.” He reached across the space between them, taking
Brianna’s hand in his. It was a promise. They’d let her down before, and he’d
not let it happen again. “Whatever it takes, Brianna. We’ll do it.”
Brianna
nodded, her expression hinting that there might have been more, but he wouldn’t
push her. Whatever she needed to do, he would have to trust in. “Make me a
list,” he said, sliding a notepad across the table toward her. “Every single
detail you can remember about him, the things he said, the background to your
visions. Especially the backgrounds, anything that will help identify where
you’ve seen him.” He would send a team out. This man had worked for Morgan and
not all of them were recovered.
Emily
stood beside him, watching as Brianna took the pen. She wanted to say
something, wanted to ask. Brianna knew her sister as well as Aern; she glanced
up at her, waiting.
“Bri,”
Emily said levelly. “How many?”
Because
of how well they knew her, they understood from two words the full scope of
what she was asking. Brianna and Emily had thought they were alone. After the
death of their mother, they’d been convinced they were the last of their kind,
even when they’d not known exactly what that had entailed. But mere days ago,
they’d discovered that they were something no one had expected, no one would
have believed. They’d discovered they were something the Seven Lines—something
everyone—had good reason to fear.
And now
Brianna was telling her there were more of them.
Shadows.
And
here was the more Aern had thought he’d seen in Brianna’s expression. Because
she’d known, once she’d found the connections to free herself and Emily, that
they were not in place from centuries ago. Those binds, the ones that had kept
their powers hidden, were put in place after they’d been born. And the only
thing strong enough to do so would have been another shadow.
Brianna’s
fingers tightened on the pen, twisting as she answered. “I don’t know for
certain. But there’s more than one, more than just a few. I think,” she
swallowed, not wanting to voice her fears, and the pen came to rest on paper,
“I think they’re behind all of this, Emily. I think they’re trying to control
the outcome of the war.”
