Roque took her hands. Hers were so cold, his felt scorching.

“Sweetheart.” He lifted those dark fathomless eyes to hers. “We don’t know much. The histories are quiet on what exactly befell the last four guardians of Clan Limont. But I will tell you what I do know.”

Last four guardians. Edeen nodded, her throat too raw to speak.

Roque’s fingers curled around hers. “The sibling guardians battled a witch upon a hill.” Roque’s head canted to the side, eyes narrowed. “Do you remember?”

Vividly. For her it had happened a mere day ago, not seven hundred years in the past. She nodded.

“Something happened between you and the witch. You were caught within a deep slumber that even a sorcerer as powerful as Toren Limont could not awaken you from.”

The witch Aldreth had unleashed her powers upon Toren. She was going to kill him. Full of fear and anger, Edeen ran at her, thinking that if only she could touch the witch with her empathic gift, she could throw Aldreth back into her memories, throw her off the attack. Aldreth was hurting Toren when he was already so battered and weak, she had to do something. But it had all gone horribly wrong.

The witch’s magic had attacked Edeen’s essence, a darkness latching onto her gift, then…nothing.

Until she awoke to Roque hovering over her and a scorching ache in her neck.

“The sorcerer tried everything he knew. He searched for years for a way to awaken you.” Roque told her.

Edeen startled. “Years? So Toren survived the witch? They defeated Aldreth.”

Roque frowned at her. “Luv, you know they’re all long gone.”

“In this time.” She rose, moving around him. “I intend to go back.”

Roque stood, placing his fists at his waist. “How?”

“Find a sorcerer, convince him to open a time rift…” Her words tapered off at the sadness that crossed Roque’s features.

“Edeen, there are no more sorcerers.”

Terror sank like teeth into her throat. “But…”

Roque came to her, took her hand and spoke gently. “I’m so sorry. When your clan passed into the Shadowrood, they took the Fae’s magic with them. Your brother Toren was the last of the sorcerers.”

“But there’s magic here. I’ve seen it. The ghouls and trolls. And you…”

Roque nodded. “Your brothers didn’t defeat the witch.”

Edeen shifted back, but Roque’s grasp kept her in place. “The witch took Shaw and with him a new magic, dark magic, filled the void the Fae’s magic left. Dark magic overcame the world. Have you not seen it here?”

“Shaw? But he took our people into the Shadowrood.”

Roque shook his head. “Shaw came to the hill. The witch captured him, turned him, and dark magic consumed the world.”

This time, Edeen did pull away and he let her go. “Nay. Shaw would never give in.”

Sorrow filled Roque’s eyes. “He may have been forced, or gone insane through torture. We don’t know. But he did give in. Darkness overcame. Ghouls. Trolls. Gremlins. Wizards.” His arms spread wide. “Vampires…every evil magical creature once relegated to shadows roams the earth freely.”

“This Hitler? He too is of dark magic?”

A faint smile touched Roque’s mouth.
