Carla said hurriedly before he could finish, though she knew what was coming.

"I won't regret anything as long as I'm with you." He looked me in the eye. "Are you genuinely willing to marry me?" "Of course." I nodded and pulled out a pouch from my sleeve. I'd embroidered a pair of lovebirds on it. "I made this a few days ago. I don't know whether it's to your liking." He seemed surprised as he took the pouch. He scrutinized it for a long time before saying, "I wouldn't have expected any less of a proper lady of the Chapman family. Your embroidery is top-notch."

We stood there a long moment, weighing the wrongness of it against the woman we might find inside, and it was Sienna who finally made the call, her hand tightening around mine. "Then it's a trap." Her jaw set. "And we go in anyway, because whoever's inside that house didn't choose to be part of it."

### The Song of the Originals But then, something began to leak into Silas’s mind. It wasn't code. It wasn't fire. It was a **Sound**. Outside, in the streets of Seattle, my parents were singing. It was a simple song—a lullaby my mother used to sing to me in 1998, before the crash, before the tubes, before the world broke. It was a song about a little girl who went to the moon to bring back a handful of stars. One by one, the other "Originals" joined in.

Chapter 8: The Queen’s Gambit ​"You’re late, Don Moretti," Silas sneered, his voice echoing off the vaulted ceiling of the Council Chamber. "We were just discussing the price of your bride’s latest failure." ​Dante didn’t stop. He hauled me into the center of the room, his hand clamped around my wrist like a shackle.

"I want to ruin it," Elara said, her voice rising with an intense, sharp authority. "The silk won't bind to itself because it’s too perfect. We need to introduce the fault line.
