Heartwarming / Last Dragon Standing

• No one will let Julius be harmed. First Katya stands between him and Svena because he's her friend. Then the second the Black Reach put a claw to his head, everyone in the room turns against him, with Katya, Chelsie, Frederick, and Marci all doing it directly for Julius.
• Chelsie and Xian's relationship with both each other and their children throughout the book is extremely sweet.
