Chapter 14

Adira and her group journey through the Shadowy Forest towards the Falls tribe's camp. They encounter Tusky Falls, a remarkable waterfall, and safely traverse its path. Upon reaching the camp, Adira experiences relief and unease about her place. They meet Eremiza, who knew her father Torion, and he explains his vision for a cooperative tribe. Adira agrees to prove herself to the tribe.

At a gathering, Dhoron downplays the Ursa threat, leading Adira to confront him. She agrees to keep the truth quiet. Adira aids Frey, forming a bond, and receives treatment from the tribe's healers. The chapter delves into Adira's emotions about joining the tribe, her frustration with Dhoron's deceit, and her growing connection with Frey.
