In Chapter 28: The Price of Water 💧🖤, the aftermath of the scandalous hours crashes into Hawksmere with brutal force. Eamon, Lenn, and young Will stagger back through the postern gate soaked in blood, mud, and something far older than any mortal threat. Their mission is complete—the poisoned water is sealed—but the cost is devastating, and the horror they awakened beneath the earth is only beginning to stir. ⚔️🌑
Meanwhile, Tom and Bess suffer under Sir Jocelyn’s refined cruelty 🥀🔥, trapped in a chilling interrogation where every word is a weapon and every silence a confession. Their failed decoy mission becomes a deadly puzzle Jocelyn intends to solve with heat, rope, and cold, calculated brilliance.
