      by testsuphomeAdmin Evelyn and Me marks the culmination of a journey I never expected to take. When I first agreed to help the legendary Evelyn Hugo with her memoirs, I couldn’t have known how deeply it would affect me.

Reflecting on the time I spent with her, I can see that it was filled with moments that were as complex and multifaceted as Evelyn…

Perhaps someone with a pure heart, someone whole and untouched by the harsh realities of the world, would have chosen to lay down the dagger and embrace the finality of death instead of taking another life. But not me. The blood was everywhere—soaked into the stone floor, staining the surroundings with the weight…

Moonlight leaked into the massive marble bathing room, providing the only illumination as I was quietly, thoroughly sick. Tamlin hadn’t stirred as I’d jolted awake. And when I hadn’t been able to tell the darkness of my chamber from the endless night of Amarantha’s dungeons, when the cold sweat coating me felt like the blood of those faeries, I’d hurtled for the bathing room. I’d been…
    • by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 2 “I want to go.” “No.” I crossed my arms, tucking my tattooed hand under my right bicep, and spread my feet slightly further apart on the dirt floor of the stables. “It’s been three months. Nothing’s happened, and the village isn’t even five miles—” “No.” The midmorning sun streaming through the stable doors burnished Tamlin’s golden hair as he finished buckling the bandolier of daggers across his chest. His face—ruggedly handsome, exactly as I’d dreamed it during…
