      Chapter 9 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 9 I paced my room for a good while. Maybe I’d been mistaken when I’d spotted those burns—maybe they’d been there before. Maybe I hadn’t somehow summoned heat and branded the wood. Maybe I hadn’t slid into Lucien’s mind as if I were moving from one room to another. Just as she always did, Alis appeared to help me change for bed. As I sat before the vanity, letting her comb my hair, I cringed at my reflection.

    • Chapter 7: Secrets of the Estate Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin I stood motionless for a moment, watching as Tamlin disappeared back into the house, his words lingering in the air between us. His warning about the blight affecting the land was meant to deter me, yet it only deepened my curiosity. As Chapter 7 unfolds, the vast expanse of the estate stretched before me, its carefully tended gardens and untamed wilderness merging at the edges, forming a boundary I was certain held more than just flora and fauna. Even if escape was impossible, I needed to understand…

      Chapter 7 Cover
      by testsuphomeAdmin Chapter 7: War The word clanged through me, freezing my veins.“Don’t invade,” I breathed. I’d get on my knees for this. I’d crawl if I had to. “Don’t invade—please.” Rhys cocked his head, his mouth tightening. “You truly think I’m a monster, even after everything.” “Please,” I gasped out. “They’re defenseless, they won’t stand a chance—” “I’m not going to invade the mortal lands,” he said too quietly.
