“Should we tell her?” | ask Drake, unsure whether telling Lila that her parents will be gone even longer than we feared can do any good. We certainly can’t tell her that they’ve been captured: that Bastien is Blaise’s prisoner, Selene his slave and her younger sibling bound for death.

“You sound like you think their fate is already decided.” | murmur, wrapping my arms around myself protectively.

He states simply. “It might be one thing if Bastien was free or Selene was able to use her powers, but as long as Blaise
