I couldn't breathe.Mother stood at the edge of the battlefield.Alive.After everything we had been told, after all the years we had spent believing she was gone, she was standing right there.Her silver dress moved gently in the wind.Her hair was longer than I remembered.But her face...I would have recognized it anywhere.Mother.The word escaped my lips before I could stop it.She looked at me.Her eyes immediately filled with tears.Arielle.My knees nearly gave way.I had imagined this moment so many times.I had imagined running into her arms.I had imagined asking her why she left us.I had imagined telling her everything that had happened.But I had never imagined seeing her standing beside the First King.And the First King was kneeling.The god stared at them.Lyra.Mother stepped forward.You should not have returned.The god laughed.You knew I would.Mother looked at the First King.And you failed again.The First King lowered his head.I know.I stared at him.You kne

Six enormous pairs of eyes opened behind the clouds.The entire battlefield went silent.I couldn't breathe.They were not looking at Father.They were not looking at Mother.They were looking at me.Every instinct inside me screamed to run, but my legs refused to move.Mother held my hand.Don't look at them.Why?Because they can see through your blood.I looked at her.What does that mean?Before she could answer, Father stepped forward.Everyone behind me.His voice was different now.Not commanding.Afraid.The Blood Moon soldiers immediately formed another barrier around us.Kaelion looked at Father.You said they were coming for her.Father nodded.They have been waiting for centuries.Lucian frowned.Waiting for what?For their Queen.I shook my head.I'm not their Queen.Father looked at me.You are.No.I don't belong to them.The sky trembled.A voice descended from above.YOU DO NOT CHOOSE YOUR BLOOD.I covered my ears.The voice wasn't merely sound.It was inside my mind.

Cassian's voice disappeared.Arielle...Don't let them open you.I stood frozen.The symbol on my chest burned hotter.I pressed my hand against it.Pain shot through my entire body.Mother rushed toward me.Arielle!I collapsed into her arms.What's happening?Mother looked at the mark.Her face turned pale.It's beginning.What is beginning?She didn't answer.Father stepped closer.The Queen's awakening.I looked at him.You said I was the Queen.Not like this.What does that mean?Father looked toward the sky.The six gods had disappeared.But the darkness remained.They were waiting.Waiting for what?For you to remember everything.I shook my head.I don't want to remember.Mother held my face.You have to.Why?Because Cassian is trapped.The moment she said his name, the mark on my chest burned again.I heard his voice.Inside my mind.Arielle.I closed my eyes.Cassian?I'm here.Where are you?I don't know.Everything is dark.I could hear chains.Then a voice whispered behi

The first god struck.A wave of golden fire tore through the temple.Mother raised both hands.A massive shield appeared before us.The impact shook the entire mountain.Everyone was thrown backward.Arielle!Cassian grabbed my arm before I hit the ground.I'm fine.He looked at me.No, you're not.I looked down.The symbol on my chest was glowing.The First Queen's power was waking again.Cassian noticed it too.It's happening.What?You're becoming her.I shook my head.I'm still me.He smiled.Then don't forget that.Another explosion rocked the temple.Kaelion and Lucian attacked the second god.Their combined darkness wrapped around its body.The god roared.You cannot defeat us!Kaelion grinned.We've heard that before.He released a massive wave of black fire.Lucian's shadows followed.The god disappeared beneath the attack.Selene stood behind them, controlling the blood of the wounded divine creature.Stop resisting.The god suddenly froze.Selene pulled her hand toward herse

Abyss stared at Cassian.For the first time since the monster emerged from the earth, it looked afraid.Cassian slowly raised his hand.The mark on his palm burned brighter.Abyss stepped backward.The ground cracked beneath its feet.The Blood Moon Army stared in disbelief.Father lowered his sword.What is happening?Mother looked at Cassian.The Lock is awakening.Cassian's eyes turned silver.I don't know how to control this.Arielle!I stepped toward him.Look at me.His eyes found mine.The moment our gazes met, the light around him calmed.I don't understand.You don't have to.I held his hand.Just remember who you are.His breathing slowed.The silver light spread from his hand into mine.The symbol on my chest responded.Crimson and silver light intertwined.Abyss screamed.NO!The monster charged.Thousands of eyes opened across its body.Darkness erupted toward us.Father shouted:Shield!The Blood Moon Army raised their weapons.Mother unleashed her magic.Kaelion and Luc
