"HE'S HERE."

The words filtered from my lips, but I had no idea why, or how, they’d slipped out. My surroundings blurred around me, too warped to see clearly no matter how many times I blinked. What was happening? Last I knew, I'd been in my dorm room, tucked safely in my bed with Nebbles at my feet, about to fall asleep.

Was I sleep-walking? No, because Echo had sat across from my bed and watched me to be sure I didn’t. Plus, I knew it was really her because Jon, her, and me had done the blood bond again, this time without Ramsey.

"Yes, he is here," another voice said, deeper and definitely not mine. "You brought him in with your dark, broken heart. His was broken too. You're just like him."

"I didn't," I tried to say. "I'm not." My mouth wouldn't work right, though, same with my limbs. I had no control.

A figure emerged from the void in front of me, tall and imposing. Ryze. His dark hair swirled around his wide shoulders in a breeze that shouldn’t exist within the windowless confines of Necromancer Academy. A shiver wracked my body as I tried to reel away.

"Should I die again, you can split my soul and then help me return again. If you do this, Dawn, you and I will both rule. Equally. king and queen of all of Amaria.” His grin twisted his scar on his right cheek. He curled his finger under my chin. “I will give you everything you never knew you wanted."

My stomach soured at his touch, and all the things I wanted to shout at him dried up on my useless tongue. Why couldn’t I move?

"You don't believe me, do you?” He tsk-ed. “Shame. Let me tell you what I did for Morrissey."

He pointed in front of me, and our blurred surroundings sharpened into a familiar room in his castle. I recognized the intricately detailed red drapes and paintings. Morrissey sat by a fire there with a little girl I recognized from a picture frame I'd seen in her room. Her sister, she'd said.

"She died young,” Ryze said, “and I brought her back without a scratch on her, all of her personality and memories intact. I can do the same for you. Your brother. Your beloved. Whoever you want." His hot breath flamed my ear as he leaned in. "I would do that for you."

He was lying. There was no way he could really do that because unless the soul had been split before it had gone through the spirit door, there was no other way to join the soul with the body. And I wouldn’t let him near Ramsey’s soul or his body.

"Look at them.” He pointed at the sisters. “Look at how happy they are. That could be you. All you have to do"—he waved his hand, and the Staff of Sullivan appeared in my fist—"is break the staff in half."

My hand tightened around it. Against my will, I reached out with my other one and gripped it so hard my fingers ached.
