“We all love Avalon, but you need to be here with your family. She’ll get over it. She’ll do her Oracle shit and pull a miracle out of the mire. She always does.”

He hoped so.

Lucian had made a promise, and he wanted to keep it. Granted, he’d made another promise to his wife and had broken it, so his fate was yet to be seen.

Someone could be the killing blow to his heart, and he knew it. His wife had been watching him carefully, and he knew the fire was coming.

It had taken careful preparation to find the next victim. It wasn’t like he just randomly chose one willy-nilly.

No.

This took precision.

First, he had to find them, and then, he had to make sure they were weak. He’d observe, watch, and listen to what the static told him about them.

And this one had a lot of whispers.
