At the broken crossing, Kael lies trapped beneath shattered timber while a Bloodfang wound draws hunters back toward him. Mara tries rope, blade, and strength, but human effort is no longer enough. When Dain moves to finish the kill, Mara chooses the transformation she has feared all season. Silver eyes, claws, fur, and unnatural strength tear Kael free and turn the ravine fight against Bloodfang. After the hunters retreat, Kael waits for Mara’s consent before touching her changed hand and telling her he loves her. Liora then discovers the broken mating cord, pointing the survivors toward Boneveil.
