The liar's gate is darkness and deceit. The sinner's gate is guilt, and it is judgement. The tool is blood, Sara Donoghue. The tool is blood, and the wicked among you must pay.” (pg. 132) Once a year, a road appears in the woods at midnight and the ghost of Lucy Gallows beckons, inviting those who are brave enough to play her game.

She squeezed herself against her real father. The stupid gown wouldn't let her wrap her legs around him as well as her arms, so she merely dangled like a living amulet from his neck. She had been thrilled to be with him before she knew the truth. Her fear that she may be cast aside evaporated. Nothing in the world could have made her happier. “I am sorry,” said L'an. “The assassin activated a portal spell from a trinket. I had only seconds and choose to kill him for what he did rather than let him escape. He didn't live long enough to speak of who hired him.” “He...

I noticed a woman, on her knees, clutching a warm bundle on her chest —  it was a wailing baby, and a little girl clung onto the woman’s arm, she was not more that a 7-year-old. There were four men with swords, threatening. I raced my saddle toward them and bombarded a man who stumbled upon the ground. Good! As I aimed at ...
