    About this ebook

    Nathaly has been preparing for this moment for years, but she is still surprised when she is given the signal and has to run for her life. Her mother is arrested and her father is already in prison. She is the last of the line and staying free is her priority.

      Tales of the Citadel Book 42

      By

      Viola Grace

      Chapter One

      Nathaly kneaded the bread and gasped when a handful of flour struck her cheek.

      Mom! Honestly, you are worse than a child. Nathaly wiped the flour from her face.

      And you are too grown up for your age. You need to have a little fun. Rema Welling snickered and flicked more flour at her.

      Nathaly flicked her fingers and a glob of dough struck her mother’s cheek. The fight was on.

      Ten minutes later, Nathaly tried to salvage what was remaining from her initial dough. Her mother was wearing the rest.

      Rema picked chunks of dough from her hair and grinned. Better. Your aim improved with practice.

      A rumble in the ground caused them both to still. Nat, was that you?

      No, Mom.

      Go upstairs, get the bags.

      Nathaly nodded and dropped her apron on the counter, working the flour off her hands with a quick vibration before heading up the stairs.

      The vehicle outside her home was visible from the window. She made certain not to touch the drapes and swiftly went to her room and grabbed her bags.

      As quietly as she could, she went to her wardrobe, draped the bags over her shoulders and lowered herself down the rope implanted in the wooden floor beneath her clothing. Hanging there, she slid the floor back into place so nothing was amiss.

      Swallowing nervous tears, she moved down the rope, right through the center of the house and into the cellar. The tunnels that had been designed were for this purpose, for Nathaly’s escape.

      * * * *

      Rema brushed her hands down her gown and answered the door. Hello?

      Lady Newshot?

      Rema frowned. No. I do not know anyone by that name.

      The man who reeked of evil checked his notes. Ah, excuse me. You are not his wife.
