Caleb POV
Dark magic slammed into the cave wall inches from my head, sending rock chips flying everywhere. I grabbed Lily's hand and yanked her sideways just as another blast hit where we'd been standing.
"Run!" I yelled, pulling her toward a crack in the cave wall I'd spotted earlier.
The First Shadow's laughter echoed behind us as we squeezed through the tight opening. My heart hammered against my ribs. All my life, I'd studied pack history and ancient tales, but I never thought I'd come face to face with something from those old stories.
We fell out of the crack onto a ledge overlooking a deep valley. Below us, campfires dotted the darkness like falling stars. Hundreds of them.
"Caleb, look," Lily whispered, looking down at the valley floor.
