Uriel had left Lillith's Apple if what Samael said was true, Gadrial's mortal body was in danger and he had to save her.
More importantly, how will he convince her to leave her newfound job without getting into specifics? The wind was scraping at his wings as he urged himself to move faster.
She might not even be home yet, she was still on a date with that imbecile Lucian! He hated that immortal with every fibre in his body.
Since the day, Lucian had set his eyes on Gadrial was when he couldn't stand to be in the same room as him.
Too many years he had kept his silence on his feelings and too many years he had stood in the shadows. Gadrial will be his when she wakes and this time Lucian was outnumbered by a million to one.
Even Lillith had made a deal with the Angel of Death to save the man from his ill fate. Did he think that he would be able to woo Christine to press his war forward?
