SOFIE
Sofie could finally see.
After three centuries of agonizing and pleading, of empty promises
and seemingly unconnected schemes that had driven her to the brink of
madness …
The moment she dragged her kneeling, naked form from the cobblestones
of the sanctum, stood to greet the Fate of Fire, and saw the anticipation in his
harsh features, Sofie knew something monumental had shifted in their favor.
“She has done it? She has released the nymphs?” Hysteria clung to each
syllable.
Malachi strolled around the stone casket holding the two corpses, his
corporeal form as magnificent as it was terrifying. “The process has begun.”
His deep voice rumbled; the corners of his mouth twitched with delight as he
reached down to graze a finger across Romeria’s perfectly preserved cheek.
“Whether she realizes it or not.”
Sofie pressed her hands against her stomach to contain her excitement.
“How much longer?” How much longer before she would feel Elijah’s arms
wrapped around her shoulders again?
“Soon, my love. Very soon.” Malachi lifted his gaze to her. “Until then, I
have a task for you.”
CHAPTER TWO
ROMERIA
Apeal of shrill laughter within the castle competes with our footsteps,
earning Jarek’s scowl.
I peer up at the formidable legionary who towers over me, his
sculpted body wrapped in leather, his sable-brown hair freshly shaved along
the sides and braided at his crown in three thick cords gathered at his nape.
“Come on, you can’t dislike children.”
“Can’t I?” His eyebrow arches, amusement painted across his angular but
handsome face. “Let me show you what happens when the blood lust hits
them for the first time, and we will see how cute you think those feral little
monsters are then.”
I grimace, recalling Zander’s menacing description of the Islorian
immortals when they’re learning to feed. “Mortal children,” I amend.
“They’re slightly less feral. Equally irritating.” His gaze surveys our
limited surroundings, as if expecting a threat to materialize from the walls at
any second. “And they don’t belong here,” he adds quietly.
Another squeal of childish laughter ricochets, the echo eerie within this
hollow kingdom that thrums with ancient magic.
“Do any of us?” I opened the mountain wall three days ago, and since then,
we have scoured every corner of Ulysede, finding signs of a thriving city—
food stores, clothing, floral blooms decorating windowsills—but no life
beyond livestock, songbirds, and the odd stray cat. Elisaf found an armory
full of gleaming metal—enough to outfit a small army—each breastplate
emblazoned with Ulysede’s two-crescent-moon emblem, as well as a treasury
vault filled with gold coins stamped with the same, but no one to wear the
armor or collect payment.

It’s as if Ulysede was built and then frozen in time, waiting for us. To what
purpose, though, we still don’t know.
