Golden light burst through the burning entrance, forming a protective barrier around Liam. Inside, shelves collapsed one after another. Ancient books turned to ash. Then... A loud explosion echoed from the forbidden archives. The fire was not ordinary. It burned blue. "Shadow Fire," Orion whispered. "It can’t be extinguished with water." The flames climbed higher.

Dell lays his hand once again on the big leather book. “What do you mean daddy? How am I so special besides being born a female instead of a male?” Corbin asks looking at the book intently before finally looking up at her dad as he stares at his hand on top of the book. “When you were about a year old.
