Outtake from

SILVER BORNE

This is an outtake, a scene that I knew happened between the fourteenth and fifteenth chapters of Silver Borne, while all the people who care about Mercy are out looking for her. I had no good way to fit this into the book—given that Silver Borne is told strictly from Mercy’s viewpoint.

I didn’t intend to ever write it down—it is not a story, really, just a scene. But my husband, after reading “Silver,” told me that I needed to remind readers that there was a happy ending to Samuel and Ariana’s story, even if it was a long time later.

So for those of you who have not read Silver Borne, there are some spoilers in here.
