“What if your death was because of me?” Will looked at me.
I wish he hadn’t. Or I wish I hadn’t stared back.
Have I told you about Will’s eyes? They’re blue, but they change, I swear. Different emotions and different lights give him different shades, but they’re always so open, like an emotional map. You can see so much of this guy in one look, with those eyes that brim with intensity and laughter and unshed tears. You can’t lie to those eyes, even if you desperately want to.
How would I feel about him, if he’d been the reason I was killed, taken from my family, and forced into this crazy, mixed-up mythic immortality?
It wasn’t his fault.
And yet…
My heart did a complicated twist, where it reminded me of new feelings about him, layered over months of resentment and pain about leaving the human world. New best friend, new love, versus everything, ever.
“I don’t know,” I whispered.
He swallowed and turned away. “That’s what I thought. Come on.”
*****
Something doesn’t add up.
A confession that’s not convincing.
Moves that are made to force someone to crack and finally tell the truth.
Val at last solves the mystery of what has caused her clan to lose Water’s protection. In doing so, she also finds out what caused her death. The truth could change everything...
