A screech pierced the air as I forced the flame from my throat, scorching the closest ryphor. Its burning body spiraled toward the ground like a flaming ribbon. “See?” I smiled in my head, and I wondered if he felt it. “I did,” he answered.

It has to be a trap

“I’m not going anywhere, Camilla,” He said, his smile fading. “But you are.” “What?” My heart thudded in my chest, echoing the sound of his boots as he stomped to the door and flung it open. A soldier entered, holding a long, blunt-ended golden trident. Electricity shot from the prongs, wrapping me in a net of sizzling sparks. My body shook, and my magic fizzled as my knees hit the floor. My eyes widened and filled with tears. “You treacherous snake.” Vincent folded his arms over his broad chest. “I never lied about who I was. You were just too simple to believe it.” “I’ll kill you!” I gritted ...more

I didn’t whimper, didn’t cry, as the guards dragged me toward the block. They yanked my arms in front of me, keeping the net coiled around my body, making me jerk as they sent another wave of electricity through it. I made no move to escape, accepting my fate. Truth be told, I should have died with my coven.

The sound of metal rending flesh and steel hitting stone rang through the silent room. Pain shattered my mind, and I screamed.

I flicked my wrist, and the golden-tipped spear appeared in my hand. My guards and commander stepped back. I aimed it at the door and pushed my power through it, leaving a gaping hole where the door had been. I stepped into the brothel and the screaming began.
Caitlin
Oh no!! Not Killian and Jaski

took one last look at the woman as she waddled, one hand on her growing stomach, toward another glass case of sweets. She didn’t smell dead. Some parts of me would never stop looking over my shoulder for Tobias. I also didn’t detect the stench of a lie coming from her. Okay, perhaps it wasn’t a trap.

Def a trap

My finger paused over the button to send me. I knew I needed to tell Samkiel I was changing locations, but he would only show up, protesting he needed to go with me. Realistically, I needed to do this alone. I had to show him that we couldn’t do every mission together, and I’d be okay without him at my side. We could not save the world while connected at the hip. These realms were far too vast. I took one last look at my wedding ring and pressed the button.

His words died on shattered glass and broken wood. The windows erupted into the room, and we both looked down as the small devices came to rest on the floor. They beeped once before exploding into a cloud of piercing white noise and deep gray smoke.

voice breaking. “If I may, Your Majesty,” Roccurem said as the sky opened and rain pelted us. I turned to him, blinking against the water soaking my face. “I once told you that love has power, and the purest, truest of it can defy great odds. It is something I have witnessed before, and I will witness it again. If it gives power, take it. Harness it. This,” he pointed up, “is your power in the sky, no one else’s. To save her, simply call it home.” “Home?” I had asked as she leaned near the bathroom sink, hope flickering to life in my chest.

would be unconscious in seconds. My beast roared, her body writhing within the confines of my skin. She poured more strength, more power into me, trying to bolster my waning reserves. Wood continued to crack under me, and I sank deeper into the floor as they pushed. The muscles in my arms screamed, and the blade slipped a fraction closer. My chest heaved. One more push, and I was done. Gone.

It was as if I had been transported to another world. The building I’d been in was gone. Every building had been reduced to ash, a world littered with gray snow. There were no trees, mountains, or living beings. Everything around me was suddenly gone. A residual vivid silver light skittered across the sky where a hole had been punched open. A portal. I took a shaky breath when I noticed that Isaiah and Kaden were gone, nothing left of them but ashes floating on the wind.
Caitlin
Sooo Kaden is dead?? Just like that?

I twisted to the side, the gauntlet reforming over my hand. Using my momentum to complete the spin, I swung out with the sword. Kaden’s knees hit the ground with a dull thud, his eyes wide with shock. I watched with satisfaction as his head lulled to the side before slipping from his shoulders.

Guards rushed past our hiding place in the alcove. Once they were gone, Vincent moved first. He refused to let go of my hand, holding tight as if he were afraid I would disappear. We darted toward the war room, ducking inside as another wave of guards passed.

He was still smiling when I rammed the spear through his midsection. His body disintegrated into a heap of dust, and I turned toward the stairs. My generals let me pass and then followed me up the steps to the front door.

She took a step forward, then another, passing through the bars as if she didn’t exist on this plane any longer, and she didn’t. Her head tilted at an ungodly angle, and the red, jagged line across her throat where I’d ripped it off was still spilling blood. She stopped in front of me and leaned forward. She had no smell, no scent. She was hollow. “What are you?” A ghostly smile curved her lips as she reached toward me. I tried to jerk back, but Samkiel had chained me to the ceiling and floor. I had nowhere to go. Her hand hovered over my chest, and I felt a tug as a small ball of flame ...more

“And she is void. As was Ro’Vikiin, a soulless, empty monster,” Death interrupted and then paused. “My apologies. I mean, Gathrriel was void before Vvive. He died on that battlefield, and when Vvive split her soul to save him, the mark formed. Samkiel dies, and Dianna, refusing to accept that reality, absorbs the power of her mark and merges the pieces of her soul that his passing hadn’t shredded. She left herself empty. She is Gathrriel once more.”

Im sooooo confused... Is she meant to die?? This dude was bad? Wtf is happening

“I would dare.” Death rose, adjusting the bullet-riddled jacket he wore. “So, kinsmen, you will not remember this, but know I do want the new world, and I will help you attain it. That I can promise you.” Darkness swelled and then faded. I shivered,

shook my head, forcing clarity into my thoughts. I needed to get Isaiah back. If he had not fallen here, that meant Samkiel took him and would try to get every bit of information out of him. Regardless of the fear and apprehension that ate at me, I could not fail the one person who had never failed me.

Athos did not hesitate. “We are The Eye.” The lethal soldiers behind her stood tall, holding the thick silver shields I remembered from before the fall of Rashearim. Gods, so many gods. “We are the last rebellion against Nismera the Conqueror. What we need to know now is how many more of you are alive?”
Caitlin
hell yeah!!! Lets gooooo ! does Nesmera know they are alive!?
