Olivia had always feared that her long suffering would one day drive her to madness, and maybe it was finally happening. But Devon had arrived just in time to save her. He had reached her, pulled her back from the brink, and since then, he had not let her out of his sight. He had moved his scrolls from the office to his chambers, reading them in her presence. And as he read, she, too, had immersed herself in the book he had given her—a book that told stories of Lunas past, their lives, their struggles, their power, and their achievements.
Then, when night had fallen, he had summoned Susan to take her blood, determined to understand what was happening to her. Olivia had sat there in stunned silence as Devon spoke of her glowing heart.
