Part 2: The Trench

Chapter 8 Summary

Twenty-two months after the murders, Bryce is back at work. Her current assignment is to go to the White Raven to deliver a valuable antique to an overbearing vampyr named Maximus. The vampyr wants to have sex with Bryce until he is warned off by Ruhn, who appears on the scene unexpectedly. After Maximus leaves, Bryce has an angry conversation with the Fae prince. He is really her half-brother, rather than the cousin he pretends to be. Bryce is the illegitimate daughter of the Autumn King himself. The siblings were once close but have been estranged ever since a bitter argument years earlier. Ruhn insists on escorting Bryce home safely to a luxury apartment that Danika left Bryce in her will.

Chapter 9 Summary

Hunt returns to headquarters after completing another assassination mission for Micah. He thinks back to how he got into his current predicament. He was traded to Micah from another archangel named Sandriel—the twin sister of his dead lover Shahar. After being transferred to Micah, Hunt was offered a proposition: atone for his crimes by matching the number of archangels he killed during the rebellions—2,217. Thus far, after four years of service, Hunt has only murdered 82 people on Micah’s orders.
