Chapter 21 - A Chilling Warning Left In The Deep Shadows
Sunset painted the ocean in breathtaking shades of purple and gold as evening settled over the coastal house.
Daniel walked out onto the wooden porch to bring in the evening mail from the small wicker table.
Resting on top of the letters was a single, unmarked black envelope sealed with a red wax stamp.
There was no return address and no postal markings, indicating it had been delivered by hand.
Daniel used his thumb to break the wax seal, pulling out a single sheet of heavy parchment paper.
Written across the center in elegant, familiar handwriting was a chilling message that stopped his heart:
“The queen is caged, but the board still belongs to us. We are watching your little girls, Daniel…”

Daniel stared at the warning with a steady, unyielding gaze, knowing the war for his family was far from over.
