Jezebel, the spurned lover of Tatin planned vengeance, with the aid of a notorious gunman and another powerful witch. They zoomed from past into Isabella’s current  world, pretended to be her twin, mimicking our heroine, Amalia, and Talia, attempting to poison Suzy with a laced apple, and trying to kill Isabella. Tatin, Apollo II and friends time-travelled into the future to protect Isabella and family. 

Apollo and friends’ wit—Hugh and Andrea’s; the adventures of Josh, Jan, and Fr. Robert; the pets Jackson and Zoraida’s roles all lent soft touches to the perils that the Lee’s went through in this threequel.

The Banquet Hall (SPILL-OVER THEORY)  Vol. 3

I've loved you the moment I saw you—your eyes, your smile, your nose, your lips, your hair… your face.


I found your snobbish attitude and strong-headedness incongruent with the frailty of your fragile, delicate, petite body. I wonder how an agile mind could reside in such a physique. All—every single thing— of you is perfect. Only God knows how I loved you—how I defended you at my own peril. I defied my own father and followed the dictates of my heart. I made sure you were all right, that day was bright, that your journey in that world would be easy. I've defied my own life. I defied time. And if I have to die for you over and over, I would, to save you… to give you life.


Tatin was looking at the face of Isabella in his imagination. He felt a little heavy in his chest. The challenges were weighing down his spirit. It was like a long, long time. He was seated on a grass in front of a peaceful lake.
