Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 707

When the clock struck eight, the assassins made their move.

A row of figures dressed in black silently descended upon Harmony Palace, swords at the ready. The priests were reciting their prayers in the main courtyard. By then, the noblewomen had finished burning their copies of the scriptures. Now, some were writing while others continued to chant prayers.

Suddenly, a piercing scream shattered the stillness of the night. The ladies fell silent, their voices abruptly cut off.

"Assassins!"

The cry sliced through the air like a dagger, echoing heavily in Eleanor's heart. She was right in the main courtyard, yet hadn't seen any attackers.

That meant the assassins must have infiltrated the inner and back courtyards of Harmony Palace.

As she prepared to rush outside, Rosalind stood up and seized her arm. "There are assassins out there, Grand Princess Eleanor! It's too dangerous!"

"Let go of me!" Eleanor spun around with a look fierce enough to shock everyone present.

Panic spread among the crowd, but the high priests and a few of the older noblewomen remained remarkably calm.

"The guards will handle the assassins, Grand Princess Eleanor. Do not put yourself at risk. We should continue with our prayers," Zane said steadily.

Eleanor turned to the Spirit Elder, who was seated on the platform. His head was lowered in a gesture of compassion and devotion, yet his eyes flickered with intensity.

Realization struck Eleanor as she heard guards rushing toward the back. Her heart lurched.

Carissa's plan wasn't on the fifteenth.

It was happening tonight!

She had deceived Henry and tricked Janice.

Carissa had sent those assassins. What was she planning? Was she going to storm the dungeons to rescue Carmen's mother?
