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 find some way to interpret the tablet. Or, I can hope that my powers might finally reveal themselves.

Because if they don't, there's only one other option. And it may be more dangerous than the hunters.

But what if dark magic is the only way?
