Evanora’s plan was a suicide mission. Of course, I was the only one that thought it, but that didn’t make it any less true. No one in their right mind would have ever considered walking in like we owned the place, and yet here we were, actually considering doing it. It was insane. Seriously, truly crazy.

“This isn’t going to work,” I said for the millionth time. “The priestesses are not going to even open the door to let me in, let alone take time for a freaking chat while you two scurry around the place to get the crystal.”

The two I was referring to were Evanora and Beatrix, who, according to the half-baked plan, were to sneak in while the rest of us distracted the coven witches. As I said, it was an insane idea. Though it wasn’t only the bad plan that made me not want to follow through, it was having to trust mine and River’s mothers to do what they said they would and bring us the crystal. This was too important, too pivotal to our success, for me not to have full control over. And letting Evanora and Beatrix do whatever the hell they planned while we were stuck with the priestesses meant exactly that—no control.

I knocked my knees together and stretched my toes inside my boots. “Maybe we should call Raiden in?” I suggested, then looked at River. “Or the pack?”

It made sense to involve them since we were currently crowding the small meeting room in the resistance house going over this ridiculous ploy. When we brought the witches here, I didn’t fail to notice the looks we got from the shadowers as we walked through the house. Most of them were fine with Catarina and the rogues—considering the endless times those witches saved our hides—but Evanora and Beatrix, they were a problem. I was sure there was more than a handful of shadowers in the house that lost loved ones to the two women. After all, our mothers were coven witches long before they turned on the priestesses. They both killed shadowers, hundreds of them, in the name of the High Coven. And they were now here, walking the halls of the very house that was built to destroy those like them.

It was messed up on every level.

“Too risky,” Evanora said.

I don’t like you. Running my fingers through my greasy hair, I tried to wipe the sneer off my face when I spoke to her. “Riskier than you two mousing around? What makes you think Sebyl won’t have all her witches on guard and you’ll actually make it to the crystal?”

“There are protection runes against shadowers all over the townhouse,” Evanora replied. I hated that she was right. “If anyone other than a witch steps into that place, the priestesses will know it. It has to be us.”

“Catarina can do it,” I suggested.

Standing next to Evanora, my mother sighed. “I hid the crystal in my old room,” she said. “In the wall behind the bed.
