This girl… If the Order doesn't kill me, she'll be the death of me. Because I won't give her up. She's mine.

I knew him only as Van Gogh. A tortured artist who owned the night as he moved through the shadows, cloaked in hate and madness.

They think they can break me, scare my new court into submission, and reclaim their training ground. They've made a fatal mistake.

I told her my secrets and she told me gilded lies. The words that dripped from her lips like honey were nothing but empty promises. Her betrayal blindsided me. Posie had been my constant. My anchor.
