Chapter 42 - Chapter 42: Emberthorn Coalition

Kaden approached the gates of the shelter, his boots crunching against the gravel path as the structure loomed ahead. This wasn't the Rose Faction's shelter—not by a long shot. He didn't dare set foot anywhere near a Rose Faction property, not while he was considered a fugitive. Instead, this shelter belonged to the Emberthorn Coalition, a lesser faction on Nethira Prime. Though not as powerful or influential as the Rose Faction, the Emberthorn Coalition still maintained a foothold on the planet, and their shelters served as havens for hunters and wanderers like Kaden.
