Painful arrival in Hornsilver

Painful arrival in Hornsilver

After the wagon is abandoned the family reaches Hornsilver with only what they can carry.

Em’s feet are wrapped in rags, and she leans on a long stick as a crutch, her dignity worn down by the desert.

Sam still walks ahead as if he is leading them, but the desert has already broken his plan. Elliot and Ethan follow in silence.
