Chapter 46: The Bite Completes the Circle

Liliana's POV

Liliana finished reading the final sentence in her mother's journal. Closing the musty pages of the bound volume, she leaned back in the leather chair and closed her eyes. Her mother's words were still filling her heart with hope and excitement.

The room slowly darkened, and Liliana fell into a deep sleep. Since Darick's injury trying to escape, her sleep schedule had been erratic and unsatisfying. Most nights were spent next to his crypt, sitting on a wooden stool, and wiping his face with a cotton rag dipped in water sprinkled with a tonic made from Galium Aparine.
