“Fuck off,” I scowl. “I told you, we’re not going to just use Maven to break our curses?—“ “It’s not about the curses anymore.” He checks to make sure the bedroom door is still closed before lowering his voice. “The magic in Maven’s blood tastes stronger now that we’ve bonded. I think completing the quintet…

All the shit in this cozy little cabin was either bought by me yesterday in Tall Pine’s little marketplace, or it was stolen from gods-know-where by Crypt. It was left empty and lightly furnished when we found it—probably someone’s summer cabin. “This is hard enough without you opening your fat mouth,” I grit out. “Pretty…

“But it’s such fun.” “Oakley, I’m being serious. I want to help you get whatever you need from the black market, and the people I know are trustworthy in their own way.” He pauses, frowning as the perfectly intact snowflakes on his hair and skin glisten in the moonlight. “By the way, what are you…

I snort softly, my voice a scratchy rasp. “Dead tired. Nice one.” They all roll their eyes at my loopy humor, but I can’t keep my own eyelids from slipping shut. Baelfire gingerly tucks me into the middle of the king bed while Everett hovers nearby, fussing over me. Silas and Crypt are quietly discussing…

Silas pockets his bleeding crystal, cleaning the blood off his fingers with his tongue, which happens to be very fucking distracting. “We’ve learned about wraiths. They are faceless, silhouette-like figures that feed on fear and can only be killed with blessed bone weapons. Otherwise, they’re known to be harmless compared to other shadow fiends since…

He shoots me a scathing look. “I wonder if Maven knows how many of those you’ve jumped dick-first into, Fuck Boy.” It’s my turn to flinch, remembering Maven mentioning other girls rubbing my past in her face. Gods, I was a full-blown idiot before I met her. Maybe I still am, but at least I’m…

“Why Maine?” “That’s where I originally entered the mortal realm when I left the Nether. The Legacy Council will piece that together, track Gibbons there, and assume I have a connection or an ally in that area. That should throw off the bounty hunters for a bit longer.” He nods and turns back to the…

“You’re lying. You haven’t told anyone yet.” He spits more blood out of his mouth before swallowing hard. “No. No, all right? I sent a message to Alaric to let him know I have an emergency update regarding your whereabouts, but he must be preoccupied with the newest surge at the Nether. No one knows…

Baelfire steadies him. “You good?” Blood drips from Silas’s nose. I frown at that sign of strain, but he wipes it away quickly and shrugs off the dragon shifter. “Let me go, you big lug.” Everett inhales sharply when Gibbons’ body jolts. It twitches and flexes, slowly rising to its feet with its head still…

Crypt tries to flip him off but ends up coughing hoarsely, gritting his teeth. Incubi are supposed to heal as fast as shifters, but since his body isn’t healing, it must mean he needs to feed ASAP. I overheard Crypt and Maven talking. I know he’s basically in charge of Limbo. The others don’t know,…
