This Crimson Blood Pill contained the essence of fire. It was indeed the blood essence of the Bi Fang. Ding Hao put away the Bi Fang's blood essence elixir for the time being, without immediately integrating it into his body. On the one hand, he already had the blood essence of the White Yin Gibbon in his body. He did not know what would happen if he integrated another drop of blood essence. Moreover, he was physically in bad shape. He needed to recover completely before he could try refining the blood essence.

In reality, it was the public passing of the torch. From that night on, everyone would know that Zach was the new head of the family. Throughout the banquet, Ethan's gaze never left me.

The deep red gem on the crown shattered and scattered. Warm blood down the steps on the cold ground, slowly spreading, reminiscent of the shallow creek she used to play in barefoot as a child.

He exhaled without realizing he’d been holding his breath. When he returned, their fingers brushed as he set the glass down.

Each page carried a second seal beneath the Council’s crest—the raised stamp of the city court, issued through municipal channels and formally delivered to the Families. Not rumor. Not accusation.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art had been transformed into something obscene. Ten thousand white roses climbed the pillars of the Great Hall. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling on invisible wires, throwing fractured light across seven hundred guests in black tie, all of them holding champagne and pretending they weren’t looking at each other.

"Amara, in the days after you drove Oscar out, I analyzed his medicinal tonic and found traces of blood in it. That was the active component. Without it, nothing I tried at the hospital came close to reproducing the effect." Diana's voice softened. "Only Oscar's blood seems capable of treating your migraines." She had felt guilty for keeping this to herself, but she wasn't someone who could lie. She would rather remain silent than say something she knew was false. Amara stared at Diana.

Kael rode straight through the arched doorway and into the main hall, finally pulling up in front of the head healer's office. "MAEVE!" His voice echoed off stone walls. "I need you NOW!" Doors flew open. Healers in their traditional grey robes emerged, ready to handle whatever emergency had brought the Crown Prince crashing into their domain with such urgency. Then they saw Lyra.
