That night, Tella tried not to think about Legend. She needed to focus. She couldnât think of the hurtful things sheâd said to him, or the way heâd left her in total darkness, as she penned a note to her sister that would either doom them all or save them.
Scar, We need a vial of the Fallen Starâs blood. But be very careful getting the blood, and with the Fallen Starâwhatever you do, donât try to make him love you. When I went to the Vanished Market, I learned that the Fallen Star loved our mother onceâshe was the only human he ever loved, and he killed her.
Be more cautious than youâve ever been in your life.

Tella was beyond tired, but even after she climbed into bed, she fought against sleep, not wanting to face whatever waited for herâor rather, what wait for herâin her dreams.
