He could see a gemstone decorating the top of the staff, sapphire, if he would have guessed, but that requires a much closer look.

At the far end of the chamber loomed a massive door carved from gold, flanked by towering black-and-gold statues. "Guys… Ka statues," Caleb murmured, awe in his voice. "So?" Ivana frowned. "They guard the tomb of a god—or a king." His excitement barely broke through his nerves. "Let's open it," Emily said, eyes gleaming.

Her fingers simply knew where to go, the way they had the first time, the way grief sometimes teaches a body things the mind was never told.

Ever since Evan Moore renounced his worldly pursuits in order to pray for me, I would visit him at the monastery once every month. However, he wasn't in the meditation chamber today. As I waited for Evan inside, a breeze blew open his handwritten scripture. I was surprised when I casually skimmed through the words on the pages.

He sensed me immediately, turning around with a look of immense relief. Gaven didn't wait for me to speak. He crossed the room in two long strides, his large hands framing my face as he pressed a lingering kiss to my brow. "The house felt empty without your spirit," he murmured against my skin. "Was your journey successful?" I leaned my head against his shoulder and sighed. "The Oracle spoke, Gaven.
