Kel Kade Book Novels & Stories

“That’s such a bad idea. We’ve been waiting here for more than an hour.” “Yes, because we are the world’s most dangerous predator. We wait and wait till the ones who think they are predators as well—but nothing but prey—show a soft spot. That’s war. That’s winning. That’s triumphant.” Kade speaks with an odd tone, one taken from carefulness. It makes Kyle brush his hands into his hair in frustration.

The latter is a little unnerving. By the time we leave the meeting, we agreed on one thing which was to look out for the enemy at all times. We didn't know what Helena was planning and that takes me back to Deva's words. Helena is planning something evil. I have been reading this book for an hour and all I can get about the power stone is that Kara, my great grandmother was the first person to be blessed by the power of the stone and the last. The stone made her stronger and immortal and more powerful. It gave her a gift, the gift of life.
