Nathaniel said, his arm around her. "It's everything." Victoria opened the book to the first page. "For Margaret. Who taught me how to love." The reviews were glowing. Critics praised Victoria's honesty, her vulnerability, her refusal to sugarcoat the hard parts of her life. They called it a masterpiece, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Readers wrote letters, sharing their own stories, thanking her for giving voice to their experiences. The memoir became a bestseller, a phenomenon, a gift to the world.

The next day, Westbridge University was buzzing, as it always did. Students moved in hurried clusters, their conversations a low whispers that seemed to stretch through the hallways. Yet amidst the chaos, one corner of the campus library had become a quiet sanctuary. There, three figures sat huddled together, their heads bent over a pile of books, their voices low but lively. Bella Cross was the first to speak, her curls bouncing with every excited gesture. “Guys, seriously, I don’t know why everyone struggles with Victorian literature. It’s really genius.

Prince Victor was holding a large and thick book in his arms and Old lady Waina was following after him. "The book you were looking for was kind of lost among the discarded books. It was not easy to find." The old woman commented. I watched Prince Victor walk closer and I realized how old and dusty the books was. "That looks very dusty." I commented as I leaned back, trying to stop myself from bolting put of the chair and running out. "Now, now... A little dust won't hurt your high holiness." Prince Victor smirked before he listed the book up to his head and dropped it on the table for good measure.

she stated to the trees. She sighed and rolled over onto her front, grabbing for her book, she dived into the world of Victorian London, letting her imagination take in the sights and smells the pages told her. She imagined what it must have felt like, as she read through the loneliness and fear of the character. The hunger and hopelessness that radiated around everyone within the story.

Victoria sent for me before dawn, while the pack house was still dark and quiet, the kind of hour where the only sounds were early birds and my own footsteps on the stone floor of the library. She was already at the table when I arrived, the same table from before, except now it was buried under a small mountain of books, some so old their spines had cracked into fragments, others hand-copied in ink that had faded to brown. "Sit," she said, not looking up from the text she was smoothing flat. "There's a great deal to go through, and I'd rather you hear it from me, in order, than piece it together yourself from half of it."

“Then go on and bring those books out, in case you didn’t notice, we are in a haste.” Victor nodded and began to push a wooden sliding door out of the way. Behind it was a shelf containing rows and rows of books. With trembling hands, he began to search through the shelf, reading the titles of books, some he would shake his head and put back, while others he would drop on the desk. “These….” He stopped looking and turned back to us. “These are the only books I have read, and they made mention of the moonstone in them.” “And what did you find in them? Can you make a summary?” Sam was still glaring at him.

I nodded and chewed my bottom lip before deciding on my first question. “You’ve lived a lot of different lives in a lot of different times and places, is there one, in particular, that was your favourite?” He was quiet for a moment before he responded. “Hmm, Victorian Era. It was the first Industrial Revolution, there was a lot of political and social reform happening, a lot of good literature. Loved Bram Stoker’s Dracula. It was so exceedingly different from the time I was born into, that to me it all seemed like magic. The telephone and the telegram were invented.” he chuckles and a small smile is on his face as he talks, recalling different things. “Oh also Frankenstein is a favourite boo

After a moment she took the diary again and wrote: *We have a vast library here. *Many books on necromancy—older than your father’s collection, some forbidden even in Arcadia Prime.* *If you want to study more… they’re yours to read.* Raven read the message. She looked up, meeting Victoria’s ruby gaze—searching, curious, a little vulnerable. She took the quill and wrote: *You’re okay with me getting stronger?* Victoria read it. Her smile widened—slow, warm, almost fierce. She wrote back without hesitation:

Every move now had to be calculated with painstaking caution. Victoria, determined and quiet, made her way toward a door hidden behind Viviana’s couch, one I hadn’t noticed before. She opened it with purpose, revealing a vast study I had never set foot in. My eyes widened at the pure magnitude of it—endless shelves lined with books, each one possibly holding a secret or spell that could change our fate. The room smelled of parchment, ink, and memories long past. Victoria's fingers danced over the spines of countless volumes, her expression focused, intense, as she searched for one book in particular. When she found it, there was no hesitation. She flipped it open, her eyes scanning the ancie

"I recommend you sleep today. We tend to be nocturnal beings." "Will Sebastian be joining me again tonight?" "I believe he might." "Oh." Victoria wasn't sure if she was excited or frightened. She knew she couldn't handle a repeat of last night. Not in this condition at least. But another part of her wanted to see him again. As he settled the tray over her lap she noticed he was carrying two large books under his arm. "Are those books?" He nodded, handing them too her. Victoria huffed as she heaved them into her arms.
