“What if… Asher brought Ezra back to life,” I said, and Raven kept growing paler with every word. “What if Asher can control immortality? Give it to someone. Take it away from someone. And that is why the curse was fueled by immortality so that it attacks Asher’s god-powers directly.”Raven got up f
When Ezra relapsed in Aile Castle, I had been too disoriented to notice much. But during my isolation in Asher’s penthouse, I had replayed that moment so many times that I couldn’t ignore it anymore.Asher had been prepared.Almost as though he had known Ezra would relapse before it happened and had
