“Oh, hell,” she sighed. “It\u2019s because of the Saxons. And Odin. It\u2019s not safe for me to reveal who I truly am. That, and, well, I\u2019m the youngest, the most junior, so \u2014 ” Summer shrugged.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“The \/world\/ is dangerous. Some days it’s unsafe even to breathe. I could trip over a stone and break my neck tonight. But it’s not — to avoid dying, that’s not — you know. Just not to be used against my family. And it would take someone very bold indeed to seize me from the Pendragon’s very grasp.” She shrugged, picking up a pebble and turning it over. “I think most days I am in far less danger than you, despite what we share.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
