Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 237

Dylan continued to speak, sometimes with hiccups as he recounted the events in fragments.

As the group of beggars scattered, Rafael happened to look up and see a child beggar who looked a lot like Carrisa’s nephew, Ryan. The child beggar had a limp and moved slowly. When Rafael attempted to approach and catch him, a cart suddenly appeared and crashed into several people.
