The church stood at the end of the empty road, surrounded by tall trees and silence.

Lina stared at it through the car window.

“This is where it all began,” Elena said quietly.

Fames turned off the engine.

For several seconds, nobody moved.

Lina looked at the old building.

She had been there before.

But this time, everything felt different.

She knew there were secrets beneath the church.

Secrets about her family.

Secrets about the contract.

And now, possibly, the truth about her father.

  • A CONTRACT SIGNED IN BLOOD AND DESIRE    The Face Behind The Name

    'Now you remember.'The voice echoed in the darkness.Lina's breath caught in her throat.She turned around, trying to identify its source, but there was nothing in the darkness except the occasional creak of the furniture.'Who are you?' Fames demanded.There was no response.Then the lights flickered back on.And the voice was gone.The only evidence that the man had been in the room was the photograph on the table.Lina turned it over in her hands, staring at the young Fames beside her younger self."How could we have been together as children?""I don't remember this," Fames said, shaking his head."Neither do I,"Lina replied.Noah took the photograph from her hands."Someone has this part of your history wiped from your minds."Lucas narrowed his eyes."Both of you?"Noah nodded."Probably."Elena peered closely at the image."Look at the woman's hand."Lina leaned in.Her mother was clasping something against her chest.A small chain.It was instantly recognisable to Lina.Her

    The room fell silent.Noah's words echoed in the chamber."They don't want to kill Fames.They want him to succeed the Architect."Lina looked up at him."The heir?"Fames stared at Noah, his body stiff with shock.For the first time in a long while, the man actually looked surprised."Why me?"Noah exhaled slowly."Because you're the Guardian."Fames frowned."That doesn't explain anything.""It explains everything,"Noah stated as he walked over to the old table in the center of the room."The Circle always needed three people.The Key, the Heir, and the Guardian."He gestured to Lina then Lucas."You already know who the Key and the Heir are.As for the Guardian..." His gaze landed on Fames.Lina's eyes widened as she looked between the three men."But the Architect isn't any of those things,""No," Noah agreed."The Architect controls all three."Fames's expression darkened."So, they want me above everyone else?"" sort of,"Noah opened the black folder he carried with him and pu

  • A CONTRACT SIGNED IN BLOOD AND DESIRE    The Brother Who Returned

    Lina couldn't move.Her eyes were locked on the screen of her phone.NOAH IS COMING HOME.Then another message appeared.AND HE IS NOT COMING ALONE.Fames looked at the phone in her hand."Did you get another message?"Lina nodded before anyone could respond.The sound of footsteps approaching sounded from the hallway.Everyone turned to look at the door where Lina's mother stood.Her face was pale."Who is Noah?" Lucas asked.Her mother's eyes locked onto his."You already know.""No," Lucas said. "I don't.""You were too young to remember him."Lina stared at her mother."You said that Noah was taken.""He was.""By who?"Her mother hesitated before saying, "The Circle."Adrian took a step forward."That isn't exactly the whole truth."Lina looked at him."Tell me the whole truth."Adrian glanced towards her grandfather who had a cold expression on his face."Your grandfather had Noah removed from the family records," Adrian said.Lina turned towards him."Why?""Because Noah discov

  • A CONTRACT SIGNED IN BLOOD AND DESIRE    The Child Who Was Never Supposed To Exist

    Lina stared at her mother.The words circled in her mind.You were never supposed to survive.For several seconds, nobody moved.Fames was at Lina's side, watching her mother closely."Explain," Lina demanded.Her mother looked down."I was afraid this day would come.""That doesn't answer me.""I know."Lina walked up to her mother."I want to know why you said I was never supposed to survive."Her mother took a shaky breath."Because when you were born, The Circle already knew about you."Lina's heart pounded in her chest."They knew I existed?""Yes.""Then why didn't they take me?"Her mother looked at Adrian."Because someone made a deal."Adrian was silent.Fames's expression darkened."You know something," he said.Adrian met his eyes."I know more than you think."Fames's eyes narrowed."Then start talking."Adrian slowly walked up to the table and picked up the old photograph."The night Lina was born, three people were supposed to make a decision.""Who?" Lina asked."Your m

  • A CONTRACT SIGNED IN BLOOD AND DESIRE    The Brother Who Knew Too Much

    Lina stares at Adrian ValeThe old mansion suddenly feels smaller."You're saying Fames's father had a brother?" she asks.Adrian nods.An older brother."Fames steps forward."Why have I never heard of you?"Adrian looks at him with something like amusement."Because your father wanted it that way."Fames's jaw tightens."My father is dead.""So was I, according to the people who needed me to disappear."Lina watches him carefully. There is something strange about the way he looks at her - something that makes her uneasy."Why are you here now?" Lina asks.Adrian turns to face her."Because the contract has reached its final stage."Everyone falls silent."What does that mean?" Elena asks.Adrian walks to a dusty old table in the middle of the room. He pulls out a small black box and opens it on the table"The contract was created because three families were becoming dangerous to each other. The Vale family. The Morgan family. And the Reed family."Fames stares at the box."And my fa

  • A CONTRACT SIGNED IN BLOOD AND DESIRE    The Signature That Shouldn't Exist

    Lina scanned over the name at the bottom of the paper.LUCAS.Her brother's signature was very clear on the page.There was silence for a few moments.Lucas gazed at the paper, shaking his head."That's not my signature."Lina turned to him."Are you sure?""I've never signed this."Fames read over the page, looking up at Lucas."The signature could be yours, but it was copied."Lucas stepped closer."Why would someone copy my signature?""Because they want you to seem responsible for the contract."Lina narrowed her eyes."What are you saying?""They want you to take responsibility."Lina looked over the page again, but before she could say anything else, the screen on the wall in the vault changed.The picture was gone, replaced by new words.THE HEIR MUST TAKE RESPONSIBILITYLucas looked over at the screen."What's that mean?"New words appeared.THE HEIR SIGNED THE AGREEMENTLucas shook his head."I didn't sign anything."Lina was already walking over to him."I believe you."Luca
