People of Luna," said a feminine voice, " please give your full attention now to this mandatory broadcast, live from Artemisia Palace. The royal coronation ceremony is about to begin." A wicked grin pulled at Winter's lips. She stepped away from Jacin, faced the people, and raised her arms to her sides. " People of Luna," she said, echoing the broadcast and pulling the crowd's attention away from the dome, " please give your full attention now to the true heir to the Lunar throne, Princess Selene, live from your very own sector." Her eyes flashed as she swooped and arm toward Cinder. " Our revolution is about to begin. "

That I could bring him some peace, protect him as he had always protected me." " You'd play your brother's own voice to him? After he died?" " And Debussy." " Did he ever talk back?" The attic ticks. What ghosts sidle along the walls right now, trying to overhear? She can almost taste her great-uncle's fright in the air. " No," he says. " He never did. "
