Sorrow and Starlight

On the run and cast out from society, we’ve been forced to hide from the mad man who stole our throne. But as more secrets come to light and my sister and I work harder than ever before to reach our potential and claim our birth right, the end is finally drawing closer.

There is no turning from this path now. The curse chases on our heels as time rushes by and the blood drenched destiny of the man I love looms ever closer just like the monster who stole our throne.

We must prepare for the final battle, but three things are clear now.

The cards have already been dealt.

Blood will spill for a new future to rise.

And the stars themselves can’t help us.

The fight for the throne is upon us. All hail the heartless sky.

They make a plan to form two groups so Seth, Darius, Tory, Geraldina and Darcy distract the Nymphs so Orion and Caleb can close the rift.

Later that day while they are celebrating, Caleb receives a message from his mom who informs him that Lionel had captured the Counselors and the heirs' siblings so he and the other Heirs decide to sneak into the Palace to rescue them where they realize it’s a trap to capture the four of them and use them along with their families to power Lavinias’ shadows through a shadow rift but Gabriel manages to contact them in time and tell Darius to return in order to save Xavier's life.
