The staircase waited beneath us.

Dark.

Silent.

Impossible.

Above the entrance, the words still glowed against the stone.

THE FIRST CROWN WAS NOT HUMAN.

I couldn't stop staring at them.

Lucien stood beside me, his hand wrapped around mine.

Neither of us moved.

Then I noticed something.

His ring.

The simple black band he had worn since the day we married.

I had seen it thousands of times.

I had never questioned it.

Until now.

The Crown inside me suddenly pulsed.

Pain shot through my hand.

I gaspe

    The Crown went dark.Not quiet.Not dormant.Dark.For the first time since it had awakened inside me, I couldn't feel Lucien.I couldn't feel Mara.I couldn't feel anyone.The silence inside my mind terrified me more than any scream could have."Seraphina?"Lucien's voice sounded distant.I turned toward him.His face was blurred by the darkness."I can't feel you."His expression changed."What?""The Crown."I pressed my hand against my chest."It's gone."A soft laugh came from behind Victor.Isolde stepped into the clearing.She looked exactly like the woman from my memories.Silver hair.Pale eyes.Perfect posture.No fear.No hesitation.Just certainty."You can't feel it because I told it to sleep."I stared at her."You can't control me.""Not directly."She lifted one finger."But I can control what was created before you."The ring on my finger suddenly tightened.Pain shot through my hand.Lucien moved toward me."Take it off."I tried.It wouldn't move.Isolde smiled."Th

    The first betrayal came before we reached the car.A gunshot cracked through the morning.Lucien shoved me down.The bullet struck the stone wall behind us."Down!"Mara raised her weapon.Victor dragged my grandfather behind a pillar.Elara disappeared into the trees.I pressed my palm against the ground, feeling the vibrations around us.Three heartbeats.No.Four.One was moving beneath us."They're underground," I whispered.Lucien looked at me."How many?""Three outside."I closed my eyes."One is inside the facility."Then the Crown screamed.I grabbed my head.A voice entered my mind.Don't trust him.I opened my eyes.Lucien was staring at me."What happened?"I couldn't answer.The voice came again.He already betrayed you.My stomach dropped.Lucien stepped closer."Seraphina?"I backed away.His expression changed."What?""Did you know?""Know what?""The coordinates."His silence lasted half a second.That was enough."You knew.""I knew something was wrong.""You knew w

    "Now I will finish what he started."My grandmother's voice disappeared.The rain crashed back to the ground.For several seconds, nobody moved.Then Lucien pulled me against him."You're not going anywhere."I looked at him."I wasn't planning to."His eyes searched mine."Good."Behind us, my grandfather slowly lowered his head."She was never supposed to awaken."I turned."You knew she was alive."His silence answered for him."You knew.""I suspected.""You lied.""I was trying to protect you."I laughed bitterly."Everyone says that."My grandfather looked toward the dark chamber beneath the facility."Because everyone who loved you was trying to protect you from her.""Who is she?"He hesitated."Your grandmother."My chest tightened."What was her name?""Isolde Vale."The name felt strangely familiar.The Crown reacted instantly.Pain exploded behind my eyes.I saw a woman standing beside my mother.Long silver hair.Pale eyes.A hand resting on my mother's pregnant stomach.

    The ring was counting down.Three.Two.One.Then everything stopped.No explosion came.No fire.No warning.Just silence.I stared at the black ring on my finger, my pulse hammering.Lucien stood beside me, his body tense."What happened?""I don't know."The ring suddenly became cold.Then a thin line of light appeared across its surface.A memory opened.Rain.Heavy rain.I was standing beneath a large oak tree.But I wasn't twenty-seven.I was eight.My hair was soaked, my dress muddy, and tears covered my face.Someone was kneeling in front of me.Lucien.But he wasn't the Lucien I knew.He was seventeen.Young.Terrified.And he was holding an umbrella over my head."You shouldn't be here," he whispered.Little me sniffed."My father said you would come."Young Lucien froze."What?""He said you'd find me if I was scared."The memory shifted.Lightning flashed across the sky.Young Lucien took something from his pocket.The ring.The same ring now sitting on my finger.He held

    "Good morning, Seraphina."The voice came from the other side of the opening doors.I knew that voice.Not because I remembered hearing it before.Because something inside my blood recognized it.The Crown pulsed violently beneath my skin.Lucien stepped in front of me.My grandfather entered the room.He was older than the man I had seen in the vision. His silver hair was combed neatly backward, and his black suit looked almost ordinary.That was what made him terrifying.There was no weapon in his hand.No guards surrounding him.No expression of rage.Only a calm smile.Victor stared at him as though he were looking at a ghost."You."My grandfather looked at him."Victor."Victor's face twisted with anger."You should be dead.""So should you."Silence fell.Then my grandfather's eyes moved to me.For several seconds, he simply stared."You look exactly like your mother."I felt Lucien's hand tighten around mine."Don't talk about my mother."His expression barely changed."You st
