"I already have people at the cemetery. They dug the grave this morning. Everything's ready. I just—I thought you'd want to be there. To help bury her."

"Your mother knew this. It's why she hid the seal here. Even shadow creatures respect the Treaty." "Where in the cemetery?" Lilith asked. "That's the problem. Elena hid it with blood magic. Her blood. Which means—" "My blood can find it," Tamara finished. "Smart girl." They left for the cemetery as full dark fell. The streets were different at night. More dangerous. More alive.
