In this chapter, the cunning Severin attempts to bribe Jonny and the Rangers with gold and the deeds to the ancient lands of Glimerfin in exchange for their loyalty—but Jonny boldly refuses, swearing fealty only to King Armor. Tension rises as Severin departs, his warning lingering in the air. That night, under a moonless sky, the Rangers’ camp is ambushed by ghostly shadow wolves—silent, swift, and nearly invisible in the darkness. A fierce battle erupts, testing their courage and unity as the supernatural beasts close in from all sides.
