Suddenly i became a goddess!
The thing had vanished without a trace.
I had sent Kael and a couple of the guards to search Lake Gayank, a place where Kiara had taken an unusual interest recently. I didn't want to jump to conclusions, but something told me she might have had something to do with the book's disappearance. For her sake, I hoped she hadn't. That book wasn't just any dusty relic. It was ancient and valuable, passed down from the first Goddess, Henry, to Athena, and then to me. Its loss wasn't something I could overlook.
The door creaked open, pulling me from my thoughts. Michael and Ryder entered, their expressions grave.
