Author's Note: Dear readers, we're now shifting into a new volume/era which is the perspective of the Heirs of Frostfang (Lila, Thorne, Elara) and their daily lives, new chosen paths, ruling, relationships, responsibilities, alliances and life decisions. Each character may get one or more chapters that alternates around their lives.
Lila now actively ruling Frostfang while Thorne decided to move south to form a new camp, alliances and a new life.
Elara also later went a separate path after falling in love and becoming the main healer if a distant land.
Meanwhile their parents stay in the background and come in when necessary to offer advice or direction to the children.
**************
Four years turned the valleys greener and the children taller. Lila had reached twenty-one with a stride and beauty that commanded the bailey like a queen in all but name. She led the morning council now, her voice steady as she assigned patrols and trade routes.
