Evangeline read the empress’s invitation one more time as her sky carriage
landed on the pristine palace grounds.

She had spent the last day trying to
imagine what sort of opportunity the empress might want to discuss, but she
still had no idea what it was.

            Marisol had no clue either.

      When Evangeline
had returned to the house and told Marisol what the red note contained, her stepsister had repeatedly said she was happy for Evangeline, but she’d also looked nervous.

If Evangeline’s invitation was mysterious, the new empress was even
more so.

Before Evangeline had been turned to stone, there had been a different
heir to the throne: a young man nicknamed        His Handsomeness.

Unfortunately, she’d learned that during the Week of Terror, the Fates had made their reappearance known to the public by murdering this unlucky royal.

The new empress, and her younger sister—whom people called the Fate Slayer—had battled the Fates to get the empire back, killing one, and proving that Evangeline’s theory had been correct—the Fates weren’t true immortals.

     They didn’t age, but they could die.

Most of the city adored the sisters for their victory over the Fates, but some believed the new empress was actually a Fate.

The scandal sheets claimed that she could read minds and her fiancé was a pirate covered in a
web of scars.

Evangeline knew better than to believe all the    rumors.

    Yet she was still anxious about the mind reading.

She didn’t want the empress seeing her thoughts and learning that Evangeline was not the savior everyone believed.
