This is part two, or as Megan says, 34.B. 34.A (part one) is where you’ll want to start so you’re not left visionless!In this week’s episode, we read chapter thirty-four. We join Ella and Jason at the overhang featured in Ella’s sketch, and the evidence Ella finds is worse than what her visions revealed.Check out the blog post about aitherion remains:Want to support Ella and Megan on Kickstarter?
