Sasha's heart had jumped into her throat when Xar shifted back to his human form. That meant he was losing, right? Zev said when they fought to the death they did it in their animals. So if he was human again.

She'd looked at Kyelle, hope in her eyes. But the woman was frowning and quiet. As was the entire crowd, Sasha realized.

Taking her eyes off of Zev just for a second, Sasha glanced around to see that, on both sides of this conflict, Chimera appeared to be confused or uncertain.

"What's going on?" she breathed.
