This was absolutely beautiful - and heartbreaking.
I've never read the events of Reckoning from Cara's POV before - at least not how she saw things as they were happening.
So many wonderful parts - the fact that she did love Darken but can't forgive him, the loss of her son, looking into Darken's eyes at the moment she betrays him and taking no joy in her betrayal.
The hope is that we know that Cara may feel like an empty shell now, but that will change. And, of course, it does.

The last line was perfect!
