Solo Leveling Vol 8

Llevaba tres años casada con Alexander. Todo el mundo le temía por su crueldad, pero conmigo siempre había sido muy tierno. Sin embargo, todo cambió hace seis meses, cuando Elena recibió un balazo por él durante una balacera. Alexander siempre decía que ella fue herida por salvarle la vida, así que yo tenía que ser comprensiva. En la gala más prestigiosa de la familia, mi esposo, el Don, Alexander, llegó del brazo de su asistente, Elena. Llevaba prendido al pecho el broche de rubí que simbolizaba la posición de la Donna de la familia. —Elena recibió un balazo por mí. Le gustó el broche, así que se lo presté por un tiempo. De todas formas, tú eres la única Donna aquí. Trata de tener algo de clase. No discutí con él. Me quité el anillo de bodas y saqué los papeles de divorcio. —Si tanto le gusta, que se lo quede. Incluyendo este lugar junto a ti. También renuncio a eso. Alexander firmó sin dudarlo, con una sonrisa arrogante. —¿Qué clase de jueguito manipulador estás inventando ahora? No eres más que una huérfana. Sin la protección de nuestra familia, no vas a durar ni tres días en Sicilia. Te doy una semana para que te arrepientas de esta estupidez. Luego no vengas llorando de rodillas. Saqué un celular satelital encriptado que no había usado en tres años. Alexander no sabía que, en realidad, yo era la hija menor de la familia mafiosa más antigua de Europa. Pero mi familia y la de Alexander siempre habían sido enemigas. Para casarme con él, me cambié el nombre e incluso corté toda relación con mi papá y mis hermanos. La llamada entró. Respiré hondo y susurré: —Papá, me arrepiento de lo que hice. Manda a alguien por mí en dos semanas.

Caitlin and Caleb awake in ancient Israel, in the year 33 A.D., and are amazed to find themselves in the time of Christ.

Ancient Israel is a place of holy sites, of ancient synagogues, of lost relics. It is the most spiritually charged place in the universe—and in 33 A.D., the year of Christ’s crucifixion, it is the most spiritually charged time. In the heart of its capitol, Jerusalem, lies the Holy Temple of Solomon, inside of which sits the Holy of Holies and the Ark of God. And in these streets, Christ will take his final steps to be crucified.

Jerusalem teems with people of all religious backgrounds and faiths, under the watchful eye of Roman soldiers, and their Prefect, Pontius Pilate. The city also has a dark side, with its labyrinthian streets and maze of alleyways leading to hidden secrets and Pagan temples.

Caitlin now, finally, has all four keys, but still, she must find her father. Her search takes her to Nazareth, to Capernaum, to Jerusalem, following a mystical trail of secrets and clues in the footsteps of Christ. It also takes her to the ancient Mount of Olives, to Aiden and his coven, and to more powerful secrets and relics than she’s ever known. At every turn, her father is just a step away.

But time is of the essence: Sam, turned to the dark side, has landed back in this time, too, and as he unites with Rexius, leader of the evil coven, they race to beat Caitlin to the Shield. Rexius will stop at nothing to destroy Caitlin and Caleb, and with Sam on his side, and a new army behind him, the odds are in his favor.

Making matters worse, Scarlet arrives back in time alone, separated from her parents. She roams the streets of Jerusalem on her own, with Ruth, and as she begins to discover her own powers, she also finds herself in graver danger than she’s ever been. Especially when she discovers that she is holding a great secret, too.
