“If I do this right,” Dorian says, both in my head and in my ear, his voice nearly taunting me with all his sadistic enjoyment, “you’ll bear my mark by the time we’re through. You only get one Flame, Violet. You’ll never be able to take another, and Damien will have no choice but to surrender you to me. They’ll have no choice but to deal with me instead of him. It’ll be me at the center of all the power. I’ll take his place in every way.”
