danger.

  “It was social suicide,” Axel said sitting on a bench. “They’ll never speak to me again, everything is lost.”

  “Has it occurred to you that nobody lifted a finger to help you?”

  Axel lowered his head and Kara sat on his lap.

  “Yeah… not even the other fays.”

  His body was hotter than normal and the prickle of magic was frenzied, so Kara opened his shirt. The usually purple and neat fay lines were now black and swollen, with blurred enflamed rims that reddened the skin. She lightly traced the one crossing his stomach and Axel flinched: he urgently needed to be cleansed.

  “That’s not the kind of crowd you want around anyway.”

  “My choices are limited and I’m not in the mood to argue.”

  He raised his chin and the moonlight shone into his eyes, turning them into deep watery mirrors. The tears threatened to fall and he wasn’t able to control them.

  “Then don’t. Just shut up for once.”

  Kara brushed his lips with hers until Axel responded to her touch: his last anchor before falling down the abyss of self-pity.

  “Why do you still believe in me?” he asked in hushed murmur.

  “Because I know your heart,” she said running her fingers through his hair “and I understand your soul.”

  Axel kissed her again, tasting the saltiness of his own tears, melting into the only love he was never going to lose.

  How do Kara and Axel know each other?

  Which secrets is Kara Schwert hiding?

  Who the hell are the Tidssons?

  Do Axel and Kara have a future together?

  And what’s up with that fay throne and the Republicans?
