Rosalita’s past returns when Blake, her former companion, steps from the forest to face her and her goblins. Suspicion turns to uneasy conversation as old wounds resurface — betrayal, ambition, and the nobles who wanted her dead. Over a tense meal in the cave, they uncover what became of their former allies and the truth about Grace’s new life among the nobility. Rosalita must now decide whether to trust Blake’s offer of help, or prepare for the vengeance she knows is coming.
