Downfall (Into The Forest #3)

"You are my people! ... And I protect my people!"

Harlow:
I've returned to camp, but I'm not the same. I've faced too many odds, seen too much blood, and too many deaths to give up on freedom now. King Wesley is after me and he'll stop at nothing to capture me - for god knows what reason. My outlaws and I are racing against time, trying to find people who don't want to be found, fighting enemies that never relent, and hoping for the best.

I've been to the castle. I've braved the Lockwood Estate. King Wesley is more relentless than ever, but he doesn't want my mother back. He wants me.
And, he's willing to murder everyone around me until he has me.
I can't let him do that. I'll never stop fighting - even if it means fighting the people I love.

Enders:
Harlow's at it again with her idea of grandeur and revolution. She doesn't want to be queen, and that's exactly what will happen if King Wesley finds her - he'll groom her for the throne.
She'd be great on the throne. She's compassionate and kind. But no matter how great she'd be for the country, I don't want her to do it. I want her in camp... with me.
Harlow's got fight in her, but so do I - and I'm certainly not going to let her kill herself for everyone else - even if she hates me for it.
