The hunters are deadly. I know that now more than ever, after watching them extract another man’s soul. I mean, he had it coming, but that doesn’t make it any easier to accept. And I’ll be next unless I can find my mom and have her reveal the truth about my past. With Agarthians charming me around every corner, I don’t have much time until they find a reason to end me. I can try to work with the new professor of Ancient Languages to interpret the tablet. Or, I can try to take matters into my own hands. But do I dare play with fire? What if dark magic is the only way?
