When you spend most of your life planning your Ever After with a girl, it feels strange to be planning your wedding to a boy.
A boy whoâd been avoiding Agatha for months.
She couldnât sleep, dread brewing in her stomach. Her mind flurried with all the things left to do before the big day, but that wasnât the real reason she was still awake. No, it was something else: a memory of the boy she was about to marry ⦠a memory she couldnât bear to think about. â¦
Tedros, stained with tears and slung over a manâs shoulder. Tedros unleashing a primal scream, so pained and shattering that sometimes Agatha could hear nothing elseâ
She rolled over, burying her head under a pillow.
It had been six months since that day: the day of the coronation.
She hadnât slept well since.

Little by little, her mind began to ease. She was always better when she was doing something to help someone else, even if it was falling asleep to spare her bald, mashed-up cat. ⦠If only she could do something to help her prince too, Agatha thought. Together they always managed to work things ouâ
Click.
Her heart stopped.
The door.
She listened closely, hearing Reaperâs soft snores and the sound of the latch creaking open.
Agatha pretended to sleep as her hand inched forward, probing for the knife on her night table.
Sheâd kept the knife there ever since sheâd arrived at Camelot. She had toâTedros earned enemies here long before heâd come to take his place as king. Even if these enemies were in jail now, they had spies everywhere, desperate to kill him and his future queen. â¦
And now the door to her chamber was opening.
No one was allowed in her hall at this hour. No one was allowed in her wing.
Moonlight spilled onto her back through the cracked-open door. Her breaths shallowed as she heard footsteps muffle against the marble floor. A shadow crept up her neck, stretching onto the bedsheets.
