And though the shadows still lingered at the edges of Elavania, the light of sisterhood, forged in the crucible of truth and shared fear, burned brighter than ever. The true battle for Elavania had just begun, and for the first time, Anya felt a flicker of hope, not just for herself, but for her kingdom, and for her twin.
