He goes on. “When the company scaled, there were weeks I didn’t use my apartment except to change clothes. The only place that felt… tolerable was a bookstore at two a.m.—the all-night kind. I’d sit in the travel section and read about cities I had seen only from boardroom windows.” A wry look. “It was the cheapest rebellion I could afford.” I don’t want to smile. I do, a little. “Travel as trespass.” “Exactly.” He tips his head, acknowledging the aim. “I’m good at the structures that move money. I wanted to learn the structures that move people. Heliograph is my attempt to fund the people who already know.”

Daniel walked for hours around the city. He was determined to go anywhere other than back to the Bostonian. He had so many things running through his head. His father sends Wyatt to see if he can be saved and stop the war that both sides have been waiting for. Elizabeth and him having a son and he’s eleven, and his life's in the same danger as Elizabeths. Daniel just wanted to walk away from all of this. How he wished that it had been Wyatt that was Forsaken instead of him. He felt everything way too much to be cut out for this job. These twelve years of soul collecting. So many souls collected for a war that might never happen. So many people sacrificed for what.

“But this is worse than I thought.” The battle was fierce but brief. When the last of the dissenters fell, Lucan surveyed the scene grimly. “They’re not just holding onto the past,” he said. “They’re trying to bring it back.” The implications were chilling. The Keeper was gone, but his shadow lingered, threatening to rise again through those who refused to let him go. --- In the rumbles, Lena and her friends found a secret hoard of sinister relics buried deep in the city. The artifacts were a clear reminder of the Keeper's lasting impact, pulsing with a subtle, evil energy.

After my sister-in-law Lydia had my brother Caleb's kidney removed and spent three years draining his blood, he escaped back to our hometown barely alive. He lay on a bed at the clinic, holding my hand tight as he said, "Noah, don't go after them. You can't afford to cross Lydia's family." Three days later, he died in my arms. I buried him on the hillside behind the town, under the old oak tree he had loved to climb as a child. On the seventh day after I buried him, a black Maybach stopped at the edge of town. Lydia got out with a frail man who looked like he could fall over at any time. She stood outside my house's door and looked at me. "Noah, where's your brother? Tell him to come o

But she is a welcome fucking addition that both Titan and I enjoy. When I got back to Katrina's, she was sitting in the living room across from a man dressed in all black with a hood over his head. It was clear he didn't want to be seen or recognized. "Ramses, this is Thayne, he is the last Keeper besides myself." She said. I nodded to him and took a seat next to Katrina, putting my hand on her leg as they spoke.

Even though I was born a girl, it didn't stop him from including me in all sorts of adventures, most of which were considered 'unlady-like'. Unfortunately, there was no more project funding for his future research, so we both settled into a dull existence in America. Dad worked at a small museum. He didn't mind it though and always quoted Bukowski's words, 'Find what you love and let it kill you.' Then just out of the blue, my father got a phone call from his old friend, who sent him some documents on a rare find from a medieval city — famously known as Angkor City. Before I knew it, we ended up at the Phnom Penh International Airport three days later.

If I let him talk to me I will lose focus and get distracted. I inhaled the air around me trying to pinpoint where the most scents vacated. I smiled when I found the direction and ran like a crazy lady. I groaned getting annoyed at the fact that I couldn't enjoy this run because my brothers a psycho. As soon as I burst through the opening with the pack house in front of me, I grinned while trying to catch my breath. Unfortunately my sense of accomplishment was short lived when I noticed a pissed off Jason and Colton. Damon stood on the balcony beside the pair with a mask of indifference.

When the light finally dimmed, something stood in the center of the basin. It was tall—twice my height—and made of molten stone and shadow. Its eyes were embers, burning too bright to look at. Its voice, when it spoke, shook the earth. “Child of flame,” it said. “You carry what was lost.” My throat went dry. “Who are you?” It tilted its head. “Once, I was called the Keeper. Now, I am what remains.” Seraphine stepped forward cautiously. “Keeper of what?” The creature’s gaze turned toward her, then back to me. “Of the first fire. The one your kind stole and forgot. Until she took it back.”
