We risked everything to save Vincent after exposing a traitor on the Tactical Team.

On the spectrum of dangerous rescues, infiltrating the Sovereignty topped the list. Getting caught equalled lifetimes of creative torture. And while we freed Vincent and an unexpected tagalong, a Sovereignty regime change flips the game upside-down.

Regardless of Vincent’s return, another mole infiltrates the Prison Creation. I should’ve seen it coming, but how was I supposed to know trusting someone would end with me and Donovan infected by a deadly disease incurable by magic?

While I’m not the best judge of character, Vincent gambled the safety of the entire Prison Creation by admitting my ancestor to my sickbed. He read my poisoned soul and insisted Vincent force a solution. With renewed confidence, my lovely Overseer threatens me with persuasion unless I allow Donovan to heal our Broken Soul Magic.

I was too sick to care if we found each other in future lives. In fact, I wanted free of the connection, to live without Fate hijacking our stories. Donovan was prepared to fight to the death for our futures together, and I was ready to die and get this cursed cycle over with.

How can I defeat Loring when this life keeps me on my knees?
