With a new bond that forces honesty, she faces antagonism from powerful allies while struggling to process the loss of Malach and the consequences of leaving the celestial realm. The opening chapter establishes a gritty, neon-soaked atmosphere, where wards, monsters, and street-level damage reflect inner fractures and an urgent need to keep moving forward.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCopyright © 2026 by Alana Kay All rights reserved.  \nNo part of this publication may be reproduced, distributed, decompiled, reverseengineered, stored in or introduced into any information storage and retrieval system, or transmitted in any form or by any means, including photocopying, recording, or other electronic or mechanical methods, now known or hereafter invented, without the prior written permission of the publisher, except as permitted by U.S. copyright law, nor may it be used for the development or training of artificial intelligence or machine learning systems.  \nISBN: 978-1-970681-02-4 (Ebook edition)  \nISBN: 978-1-970681-03-1 (Paperback edition)  \nLibrary of Congress Control Number: 2026914179 First edition 2026  \nThe story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious.

It can also die.  \nCELINE  \nHeat. Noise. The crackle of magical wards harmonizes with the buzz of neon lights and the heavy thud of a bass guitar. I shudder. The air is laced with the smell of beer and trash. A gust of dry wind rustles my hair, bringing with it a whiff of exhaust.  \nWe did it. I’m finally home . . .  \n“It doesn’t look good, baby.”  \nLuca’s voice is gentle. As if I’m delicate. Fragile. A piece of glass on a collision course with the hard, unforgiving pavement. He thinks I’m going to shatter. I want to deny it. More than anything, I want to roll my shoulders back, tip my chin up, and dare him to use that tone with me again. But he’s right, and everyone, Alistair, Ciprian, Riven, and even Hyacinth, knows it. Gods, I brought my faceshifting jailer to the Fringes, and it’s not even in my top five worries.  \nMy fingers curl, and a drop of sweat rolls down my spine and pools in the small of my back. There’s no point pretending with Luca. The new bond between us makes it impossible to hide from him.  \nI clear my throat—raw from screaming—and let the pain ground me.“I won’t betray him again.” Malach. Malach. Malach. Malach. My  \nheart calls for him with each beat, but he doesn’t answer, and he won’t. Because he’s gone.  \n“You never betrayed him,” Ciprian says. He grabs my right hand and laces his fingers with mine.“You left for good reason.”  \nMy stomach twists.  \nThey can tell me I’m innocent a million times in a hundred different ways, but I knew what my leaving the celestial realm would do to Malach. He loved me, even then, and I knew he wouldn’t move on. I stepped through the gateway anyway because I was desperate to create a life of my own.
