Summary

In Chapter 4, Mare follows Farley through the mersive to Cal’s room. Cal opens the door, annoyed at Farley’s presence, and Farley turns to leave. Now alone with Cal, Mare reminisces on dancing with and kissing him when she was acting as Mareena, the lost Silver princess. In the present she asks him about Tuck, but he knows little about it. She feels the generator in the mersive shift, indicating that they are close to their destination. The mersive tips upwards towards the surface, and Cal and Mare fall against each other. Pained by her fresh wounds, Mare mentions Sara Skonos, a Silver healer who could mend injuries in an instant. Sara had her tongue cut out for claiming that Queen Elara murdered Coriane, the true Queen and Cal’s mother. Cal is obviously upset by the memory.
