We entered the courtyard, and Julian’s mother and sister rushed at him to give him huge hugs.

I stood back and watched, tears in my eyes. Even though they’d already reunited while I’d been recovering from trying to create the portal to Avalon, this was different.

Because this time, they knew they were going to a place where they could finally be a family again.

They pulled apart, and Julian’s sister—Vita—looked to me. She had Julian’s ice-blue eyes and dark blond hair, but she was so fragile and pale that it was hard to believe they were twins. “Thank you for everything you’ve done for us,” she said. “I can’t wait to get to Avalon.”

I startled at her outward expression of thanks, but quickly recovered. Because even though half-bloods weren’t bound to favors by thanking one another, they tended to avoid the words, since they didn’t want to slip up while talking to a fae.

The fact that Vita had said them was a true, heartfelt expression of gratitude.

“You’re welcome,” I said warmly. “I can’t wait for you to see Avalon. You’re going to love it.”

“I’m sure I will.” She smiled, and in that moment, I knew I was truly gaining a sister.

“You can bond with each other later,” Sorcha said, and she pulled a small golden pouch from one of the pockets in her skirts. “Here are eight tokens that will take you to the Trevi Fountain, as promised.”

I stared at the pouch in her hand. “You had the tokens this entire time,” I realized. “And you had Julian’s family waiting here. You already knew you were going to agree to the deal.”

“Your father was determined to have all of this play out in a particular way, and I trusted his guidance in these matters,” she said. “But he only told me to have Julian’s family wait here, and to carry the tokens with me. I knew nothing more.”

She opened the pouch, and handed a token to each of us.

I took mine last .

It was gold, and about the size of a quarter—just like the one Julian had handed to me when we’d thrown them into the fountain in LA. But instead of Prince Devyn’s likeness on the back, this one had Sorcha’s. Her crown towered so high that it bled off the top of the coin.

“All right.” I turned to face the fountain. “I guess this is it.”

Julian nodded at me, and I prepared to toss the coin into the water.

“Wait,” Torrence said, and I looked to her. She was shaking, and her big green eyes were full of fear.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“There’s something I haven’t told you yet. Something I just found out when I went to Avalon. Something you need to know before we leave.”

My heart leaped into my throat, since whatever this “something” was, it didn’t sound like it was going to be good. “What is it?”

She held my gaze for a few more seconds. “Since you were brought here, the timelines in the Otherworld and on Earth have been different.
