I had to warn the knights.
I had to gather supplies and go after Brady.
They’d killed Carlo. He was dead. Over my shoulder. I was carrying my dead teammate. Three points off Gryffindor.

The mist began to thin, and then we were cutting across sector two toward the looming fortress on the rise.
Silence reigned. Just our breath. Just our boots and the fortress getting closer and closer.
We came to a standstill at the bottom of the rise to catch our breath. There it was, not too far now. And then white light engulfed the building, temporarily blinding me. An explosion rocked the world and then a sound like thunder rolled through the air. Dark dots floated in front of my eyes. I blinked my vision clear and stared at the spot where the fortress had once stood. The spot that was now home to a smoldering husk.
“They blew it up,” Aidan said flatly.
“All the knights …” Devon’s voice shook.
My pulse thundered through my veins, melting the ice and bringing my emotions back online.
All the knights … “Hyde …”
I broke into a sprint.

Indigo’s journey concludes in Shadow Master, the final book in The Nightwatch Academy series.
