Kindle Notes & Highlights
There was only her. My one, my only, my wife.
Destiny was shifting, uncertainty reigning, and I would be ready to fight on from beyond The Veil in whatever way I could.
“You can do this. You were born to wear the crown, and you can bear the weight of it no matter how heavy it becomes,” I swore to her.
“Defy the stars,” I said fiercely, willing her to do so with all I was and all I had.
“When one falls to the dark, the other shall be their guiding light,” Merissa murmured with a frown, those words familiar to me.
In all honesty, I had no further interest in my Acrux heritage. I was happy to leave all claims to it behind in the taking of my wife’s name. I was a Vega now.
“The one where I swore to love and protect your daughter with all that I was for all the time I had in that world and the next. The one that I joined her in when she vowed to change our fate at the cost of the stars if that was what it required. She has sworn to defy destiny in the matter of my death, and I have sworn to do all I can to defy it too. So will you help me, or would you rather allow your distaste for me to leave her grieving and alone for the rest of her life?” I demanded. Hail sighed heavily. “I preferred the blonde one,” he grunted.
once again I was confounded at the trouble my children were capable of meeting with the moment I took my eyes off of them.
“My taste is fire and ruin tempered by the kiss of a woman who has always and will always be out of my league,”
And as I turned from him with my wife’s father at my side, the two of us grinned like savages.
“Get fucked, Lame Lionel!” Radcliff cried.
Weird choice of taunt, but okay.
“You’re Darius Vega now. And you weren’t built to bow to anyone.”
“I love you, Roxanya Vega, and I wish I could have been worthy of you.”
“You are going to fight this,” she ordered me. “You will fight it with all you have and if the price of that fight is the end of us both then I will gladly take that over death or life without you.”
When all hope hinges on a promise forged of lies, Beware the threaded minds of blood and chaos. Unlikely friends and broken bonds may shift the tide, Cleave open the walls of the lost in the depths of the unholy night. Unleash the souls tethered in the tainted dark, Unite the rising twelve and toll the bells of fate.
