By midnight, the Penta and their allies had realized that there was more to zari than she ever wanted anyone to know. She was a complex woman and a smart one at that. They had collectively agreed that the woman wanted the ascendant for the sake of her brothers, but what if there was something else?
From what Camille had told them, zari knew what she was doing. She wasn't scared one bit of her brothers; hell, she had all the necessary weapons in strategic places like she was waiting for her brothers.
She knew they would someday attack her, and she had known that over the years, they had been waiting for the perfect moment, but no one knew what it was.
They had brainstormed and thought of every possible thing that they could, but in the end, they could only figure out a common truth, that zari was going to war with more than just Alexei and her brothers. Anyone could tell that, but what were they to do?
