No Devka. Bad things happen when she's not around. Nicky wheels herself into the corner of her cell, closes her eyes, and tries to breathe the panic away. The burned skin on her temples throbs with the memory of Adrathar's machine. Escape or die — those are the only two options left, and one of them is looking more likely than the other.

The multiverse has had its way with them all, as it always does. A convicted felon at a coven meeting, a joke that lands in silence before laughter, and the bittersweet truth that Nicola Landau is still wanted by a law that doesn't understand curses. The Dusk Reapers may be defeated — but the story isn't over.
The crowd advances, but they're not human — not anymore. Silver shimmer, calm silence, padding over dew-damp black grass. Two dozen ghosts have come for what they want, and Asha motions for Morgan to lower her gun. These spirits didn't come to fight. They came to sing one last song — and to take someone home.
Rumpis! The wizard's spell blows up half the room. Concrete falls from above as Asha rolls into the fire, graphene cloak offering just enough protection. She bats at her burning hair, jumps to her feet, and sends it right back. Rumpis! The walls explode. This is it — the final fight. And Asha intends to make it a good day.
The memory tube hurtles toward her — too fast. It bounces off her palm, shatters on the floor, colored smoke dissipating before she can act. Fury rises hotter and taller than the flames threatening to engulf them. Adrathar stole her memories, and now they're gone. But Asha is more than a cursebreaker — and what comes next, the wizard didn't plan for.
