Chapter 313

Her magic danced through my body and I lit up the night like a beacon with pure, unadulterated power. My blood was stardust, dancing with a nebula in a far-off galaxy.

I was the cosmos. I could fly. Hands outstretched, I reached for my foes. I only needed a couple of seconds and it would be done.

But like Sienna had said, the human body wasn't designed to take that much power that fast.

Or ever. Even two seconds was time I didn't have.

Before I could turn the magic on Mandelbaum, Sienna, and Lilith and neutralize them, that beauty dissipated into a million dark magic maggots that consumed me, threatening to flay the skin from my bones.

Lilith's cruel laughter shivered through my veins.

My heart sped up, skipped once, twice, then fell into chaotic convulsions.

I clutched at my chest, falling to my knees, my body bowed backward.

Witches swarmed us from one side, Mandelbaum's men from the other.

Rohan fought anyone who got between them and me.
