EVANGELINE.

“Take care…” I say softly, clutching the phone tightly in my hand.

I feel my stomach twist knowing I am about to disobey him and not only that, but I am going to go back to that chamber.

“From what you said and the king’s explanation, I don’t think there is anything more… but this means that Raziel cursed one of his two children… Evelyn, to be precise.” Kash says, looking up.

I nod. It’s as we figured. “So, he’s the reason…” Lucia murmurs.
