Knowing Everest is my soulmate should have been a comfort, yet it only made the fear worse.
This is no passing crush; the love I feel for someone I barely know is painfully real, and he returns it.
Every moment he stays in Avolire, playing Sweyn's espionage game, I spiral closer to collapse.
I need him with The Coven, where we can protect him and stand beside him in the open.
He has spent centuries hidden in darkness, and I will break the hold that binds him to her side.
Magic is the only way out of this nightmare, and I will bring him into the light even if he tries to stop me.
