Chapter 177 DANE The weight of the darkness pressed against me , an unrelenting force that felt as though it was crushing the life out of me .

The air was thick , the shadows pulsing like a living thing .

I sat slumped against the rough stone wall of my prison , my wrists still raw from the shackles that I had just managed to break .
