Sap said with a soft smile. I remembered Mary's words.' Run when you see it. ' Facing demons sent a chill down my spine. I stared at the bracelet. Then I looked around. Everything was looking so peaceful. It didn't make sense. Something else caught my gaze. A black glitter shimmered in the air. I sprinted forward and forward my fingers to touch the dark leather tome. I forced myself to look away from the book. I couldn't. I tried to push my hand back. I couldn't. I felt my body moving against my desire.

It rattled with dust, and she gasped when something hard fell off from the top shelf. “Oh, no!” Elizabeth placed the telescope down and hurried over to pick up and return whatever it was but paused when she deemed it a large thick book. She blew on the casing and tilted her head in confusion at the words written on its front. The more she stared, the more she heard a voice beckoning her to open and look at its pages. She brushed her fingers against the lock and wondered if its key was nearby. She set it down on a table and dragged a chair to inspect the dresser. The girl probed around to find a key and blinked when she discovered it inside one of its drawers. She jumped down from her chair a

Then, She stopped. A symbol. Carved into a book spine. Familiar. Too familiar. Her breath caught. She had seen it before. Not here. Not recently. But somewhere else. A memory flickered. Her childhood. Her mother. A necklace. Amber’s hand trembled slightly as she reached for the book. She pulled it out. Slowly. Carefully. Like it might disappear if she moved too fast. She opened it. And everything changed. THE TRUTH BEGINS : The pages were old. Worn. But clear. Drawings filled the margins. Symbols. Marks.

I died in a cellar due to asphyxiation. By the time I woke up again, I found that my soul had reappeared next to my three older brothers. The three of them had just returned to our huge villa. The eldest, Ian Haldeman, and the second eldest, Will Haldeman, were holding our stepsister, Lorelei Surridge's hands. In a kind voice, one of my brothers began, "Thank goodness we got you to the hospital just in time. Otherwise, it might take you a longer time to recover."

CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR IVY’S POV The faceted black glass vial sat at the edge of the mahogany desk, catching the faint glint of the amber light that illuminated its content brightly. I stared at it for so long that my eyes began to hurt, I felt completely immobilized, as if I were under a hypnotic spell. I didn't want to go near it. I couldn’t bring myself to touch it, couldn’t bring myself to throw it away either.

“Scent can travel the same way blood can.” Selah lay slumped against the wall, pale, shaking, her mouth stained red. Her eyes were wide as she watched the cageborn creep in small circles, testing the edges of the chamber like it was learning its new world. “It wasn’t supposed to come out,” Selah whispered, voice breaking. “It wasn’t supposed to—” “Quiet,” Mara said gently, and Selah’s lips sealed like she’d been stitched. Vesper’s knives stayed up, but her attention wasn’t on Selah. It was on the far wall.

The clock chimed. At the last toll, the embers collapsed, and the grate was cold. Isabelle lifted the serpent key—a replica of the latch’s eye and slipped it into the sketchbook’s spine. With a hushed click, the book’s cover sprung forward, revealing a shallow cavity. Inside lay a folded parchment sealed with crimson wax: the Ember Circle’s original charter—and a second, smaller key of burnished silver.

The de-orbiting of the Consortium-Prime’s "Repo-Stations" had left the night sky over New York littered with falling amber sparks—the final, incinerating remains of a bankrupt century. But as the "Mechanical-Eyes" of the old world burned out in the atmosphere, the "Somatic-Eyes" of the first generation of "Glow-Children" were opening to a spectrum that ignored the limitations of distance and vacuum. The Avery-Arbor was no longer a terrestrial sanctuary; it had become a "Launch-Pad" for a consciousness that didn't require a pressurized hull to travel the stars.

Halfway through the incantations, Amy paused to turn to us with a promising smile. “It’s working!” she whispered. The faintest echo of a cry startled the Haunters. It’d surely been Cristine when Lizzie translated Amy’s words. “Can anybody help me see?” I whispered. “Give me your hand,” Edward replied. I reached out and gasped the moment his cold touch wrapped around my hand. Right before Amy, a spot of light gray mist floated midair, and it was expanding rapidly. Only a few minutes later, while Amy kept reading under her breath, it was a clear white circle. Trisha leaned forward to ask me what I was seeing and I tried to reply as shortly as I could, unable to look away.

"Amary is a mind reader and can plant thoughts on your head remember? She was powerful too and was able to make Amary believe that they were on the same side.

Instead, she poured all her knowledge into the book in your hands. She wrote it in codes only her knew so that no one could access it." Ivy looked at the book in her hand. "So, this book contains Amary's unearthly wisdom? I don't think I want to have such information." "She trusts you. That's the only reason she'd give you this book.
