Zana loves Will, he is her prince charming, from the stories of her childhood. Is also the first person she is close to that does not want to use her as a pawn or an escape goat.
Yet, she is a dark elf. She was taught to be cunning, to hit her target where hurts most, to be unfair, to take whatever she can.
She knows how to hurt Aubry, how to make the childhood friend break. However, i feel she also find it to be too easy. Too quick.
Zana wants a challenge. A rival, for something she finds worthy. That is why she not just gave Aubry a wake up call, but also challenged her ("your move next").
I believe Zana would like Will to be happy with Aubry. But at the same time, she would rather be his lover herself. After all, she is jealous of Aubry, how much Will likes his childhood friend and how far they have been together.
It is said everything is fair in love and war. So i look forward about how this battle for a celibate paladin's heart will go!

I'm glad that Bb sat down and continued this series.
On the other hand, the characters are all unlikeable clichés
Oh look two women competing for a man, one is a bitch and the other is the foreveralone childhood friend
Which year of flat female character writing is this, 1940?

Had to get one final poke in, didn't she? Yeah, but I don't think Aubry realizes just how badly she positioned herself with Will. She's gonna have to fix that quickly.
