What if they’re really as bad as I’m told and they just want to use me to bring down the parliamentarians? What if this book is just a trap to make me feel good about myself? I hurt those students. I almost killed them. Doesn’t that make me a bad person? This is so confusing.’

Absolom sat nearby, reading from a book bound in the time of the Renaissance. “Congratulations, Jon St. Fond.” Jon tried to mouth the question, but no words came out. The mere act of attempting to ask wore him down. Absolom divined his intent. “Yes. You and Crixen passed. He was fully formed enough to take on the role.

Jon was surprised to see a softness outline the other’s eyes. A . . . concern? Pity?

'It's a story about one of their own,' he said. 'The first Angel to fall. The first one to question. The first one to defy. The one who started it all. It's a Gospel, but not one that was ever going to make the final cut. The book is the Gospel of Lucifer.' I sucked in a breath, felt my stomach flip, my muscles weaken. I stared at him, was unable to take my eyes off him. When I spoke, my voice trembled. 'Why did your parents have that book, Ethan?'

Questions about me, about the lave tet I had gone through with Sajida, whether it was really Marie Laveau's spirit and how Abraham being my father tied into this. They asked what I was going to do next, as if facing Abraham and The Council could possibly be the next step I needed to take to save everyone. There was a lot of irrationality in their voices, but only because they were excited—for once since the conflict rose to an unbearable heat, they felt as if they had the upper hand on Abraham and The Council. And they had no

I hated that my body reacted before my brain could catch up. So I did the only thing I could think of. I dropped my gaze to the book between us-anything to break the pull of him. That was the real problem. Not the breaking in. Not the roses. Not even the chocolate that kept disappearing like evidence of a crime I couldn't prove. It was the questions. Too many questions.

At times you may hate Amber, or you may even relate to her if you have been in a similar situation as her. But again, PROCEED WITH CAUTION. ~ Prologue: My whole life, I never really knew what it meant to lose yourself.

I yelled, my anger overwhelming me all of a sudden. "Cass, I—" Jake tried to speak, but I silenced him with the raise of my palm. I won't stand for this, I needed to let everything out without an interruption. "No. I don't need any excuses. I want answers, instead. Why are you guys arguing about it? What is it about the book that is making you act like this? You guys know something about the amulet...the history or something. What is it? Tell me everything. I need to know more.
