The Kingdom of Owusu looks like a stunningly beautiful opera, draped in rivers, forests, and nature. As I get closer to the main castle, I can smell the sweet aroma of orange groves and crisp, fresh air. Everywhere I gazed, I saw an expansive sea of green trees that seemed to stretch for miles and miles.
Inanna and the other vampires join us as we move along. The dense woodlands provide a sense of security. The trees reach high in the sky and cast shade and shadows over the land. It might have been the reason Bryer chose this Kingdom to hide in–the cover it provides allows him to slip away without being noticed by unwelcome onlookers or listeners.
"Well, this is massive," Harbin whispers beside me. He insisted on coming, knowing the underground trove of books in Owusu.
"You are still only seeing stones, Harbin," I remark. He grins at me. I know he is excited about books alone.
As the portcullis lifts, granting us entrance into the fortress, my thoughts turn to Theo. It had been a week since I'd seen him. Since we have cleansed the mark, it did not cause me physical pain. Still, I miss him dearly.
We walk across the wide, circular courtyard. The black road leads to the tall, arched entrance of the castle. Two massive doors are set as the entrance, and a long staircase leads up to them. The new doorway has been carved into the wall of the old keep, which is overgrown with vines and brambles.
